Etymology
The word chauvinistically comes from the name Chauvin, a French soldier who was famous for extreme loyalty. His name became chauvinism, which means 'an unfair belief that your group is better than others' and appears in the phrase 'male chauvinist', so to act chauvinistically is to show that proud, unfair loyalty.
