Did you know?
- If you tried to use antidisestablishmentarianisme in a casual French conversation, you would likely be viewed as performing a linguistic stunt rather than engaging in a political discussion.
- While English uses the term to describe a specific 19th-century movement, a French speaker might use the shorter term l'établissement to refer to the very same religious establishment.
- If you were to translate the concept from scratch rather than using the loanword, you would likely use the phrase l'anti-séparation de l'Église et de l'État, which is much more descriptive than the English single word.
