Etymology
Tribalist comes from tribe ('a group of people') and the ending -ist ('a person who supports or follows'), like in artist or activist. A helpful way to remember this sense is that a tribalist can be someone who always puts their own group first, which is why the word often means a person who favors their group and ignores outsiders.
