Etymology of ANTINIHILIST

The word "antinihilist" is a combination of two words: "anti-" and "nihilist".

- "Anti-" is a prefix derived from the Greek "anti", meaning "against" or "opposite". It is commonly used to indicate opposition or resistance towards a particular thing or ideology.

- "Nihilist" originated from the Latin word "nihil", which means "nothing". In the late 18th century, it was adapted into English to describe a philosophical belief system that rejects the existence of inherent meaning, purpose, or value in life or in the universe. Nihilists contend that life is devoid of objective meaning, moral values, or any higher authority.

The word "antinihilist" is not as commonly used as "anti-nihilist", which describes someone going against or opposing nihilism—the rejection of traditional or established beliefs, values, or authorities.
