History

Quisling (1940)

A word Norwegians are not very proud of having given to the world: it derives
from Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945), a
Norwegian politician who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. He
established his name as a synonym for "traitor",
someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country, especially by serving
in a puppet government.
