How to use "Quisling" in context?
The word "quisling" is derived from the Norwegian word "kjæseling", meaning "chamberlain." It was originally used to describe someone who helped the Nazi party increase its power by serving as a tool or collaborator of the regime. Quislings were determined by their complete submission to the Nazis and their actions to protect the regime from opposition.
People who are typically thought of as quislings were not the only ones who behaved in a treasonous manner during World War II. Many people in positions of power cooperated with the Nazis in order to protect their own interests. These people were referred to as "collaborators.
