Vocabulary


 

 Can you define "putsch"?

I saw the word used in a Politico article about January 6th.

Yea, THAT January 6th.

Definition? 

"A secretly plotted and suddenly executed attempt to overthrow a government."

The word was first used with that meaning just over a century ago, in 1919. 

And now you know too.
