Origin:
The term "doctrinaire" originated in the early 19th century in France during the political and intellectual ferment following the French Revolution. It was first used by supporters of the Bourbon restoration to refer to a group of intellectuals and politicians who advocated for a strict adherence to the principles of the old regime.
The doctrinaires were known for their belief in the need for a strong central government, the importance of tradition and stability, and their opposition to the radical ideas of the revolution. They were often seen as being overly rigid and inflexible in their views.
The term "doctrinaire" has since been adopted more broadly to refer to anyone who rigidly adheres to a particular set of principles or beliefs, regardless of the context. It is often used as a term of criticism, suggesting that the person is overly dogmatic or out of touch with reality.
