propagandaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

別の表記

• propagand (archaic)

語源

From New Latin prōpāganda, short for Congregātiō dē Prōpāgandā Fidē (“a committee of cardinals established in 1622 by Gregory XV to supervise foreign missions”, literally “congregation for propagating the faith”), and properly the ablative feminine gerundive of Latin prōpāgō (“propagate”). Modern political sense dates from World War I, not originally pejorative.
