See bel- in Indo-European Roots.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bolshe·vik adj. Word History: The word Bolshevik, an emotionally charged term in English, is derived from an ordinary word in Russian, bol´she, “bigger, more,” the comparative form of bol´sho, “big.” The plural form Bol´sheviki was the name given to the majority faction at the Second Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Workers´ Party in 1903 (the term is first recorded in English in 1907). The smaller faction was known as Men´sheviki, from men´she, “less, smaller,” the comparative of maly, “little, few.” The Bol´sheviki, who sided with Lenin in the split that followed the Congress, subsequently became the Russian Communist Party. In 1952 the word Bol´shevik was dropped as an official term in the Soviet Union, but it had long since passed into other languages, including English. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
