Etymology
The word Fabianism comes from the British Fabian Society, which took its name from the Roman general Fabius, who was known as 'the delayer', a reminder of the English word 'delay' because he avoided big battles and used slow, careful attacks. So Fabianism means trying to change society slowly through reform and the law, rather than by quick revolution.
