Etymology
Patrioteer starts with patriot, from a word for 'fatherland' and meaning someone who loves their country, and ends with -eer, the same ending you see in privateer or musketeer that names an active or fighting person. So a patrioteer is a loud, warlike or aggressive kind of patriot who acts like a fighting supporter of their country.
