Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'extreme' (from Latin extremus, superlative of exter) and 'right' (referring to the traditional right-wing spectrum of politics, originating from the seating arrangements in the French National Assembly of 1789). The hyphenated compound emerged in political science and journalism during the 20th century to designate political factions positioned further to the right than mainstream conservative parties.
