Democracy Dies in Darkness'
Lookups for 'democracy' spiked after
The Washington Post unveiled its new slogan
22 Feb 2017
Lookups for democracy spiked on February 22, 2017,
after The Washington Post began using a new slogan on its website:
“Democracy dies in darkness.”
Many commentaries connected the move with President Trump’s hostility to the press in general, and the Post in particular.
Democracy means “a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting.”
It came to English from French in the early 1500s,
but traces back through Latin to Greek;
it was formed from the Greek words dēmos,
meaning “people” and kratia, meaning “strength” or “power.”
Democracy is among the most looked-up words in our dictionary,
and is currently #12 in all-time lookups.
The word does not appear in either the Declaration of Independence
or the Constitution of the United States,
but it was well known and used by the founders
who created those documents, including John Adams:
Adams distinguishes democracy from other types of republics
in a later letter, and in doing so showed himself to be a man of the people,
at least insofar as exhibiting an inconsistency in how he chose
to apply the apostrophe to his substantives.
