Etymology
The word chauvinist comes from a French soldier named Chauvin who was famous for his 'extreme love of country'. People began to use his name for anyone with 'blind pride' in their own group. So a chauvinist is someone who thinks their country, group, or gender is better than others and acts unfairly because of that.
