Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines the spatial metaphor 'far' (from Old English feor) with 'right' in its political sense, originating from the seating arrangements in the French National Assembly of 1789 where conservative royalists sat on the right. The compound 'far-right' emerged in modern political science and journalism during the mid-20th century to designate political positions further to the right than traditional conservatism.
