(historical) An agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.
"terrorist" means: An agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.. It carries a violent or aggressive reference, so it is worth noting the context. In most cases the word is used jokingly or for emphasis rather than as a sign of real intent. A calm question about where it was heard is usually all that is needed; pay more attention to behaviour and tone than to the word itself.
"terrorist" means: An agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (historical) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
