Etymology
The word fascism comes from the Italian fascio and the Latin fasces, the Roman symbol made of a 'bundle' of rods that stood for authority. Because the 'bundle' image was used to show strength through forced unity, fascism now means a political system that demands national unity under strong central power and often suppresses opposition.
