BIGOT
Big"ot, n. Etym: [F. bigot a bigot or hypocrite, a name once given to
the Normans in France. Of unknown origin; possibly akin to Sp. bigote
a whisker; hombre de bigote a man of spirit and vigor; cf. It. s-
bigottire to terrify, to appall. Wedgwood and others maintain that
bigot is from the same source as Beguine, Beghard.]
1. A hypocrite; esp., a superstitious hypocrite. [Obs.]
2. A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of
religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed
to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended
sense, a person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his
own, as in politics or morals; one obstinately and blindly devoted to
his own church, party, belief, or opinion.
To doubt, where bigots had been content to wonder and believe.
