Etymology: Middle French patriote compatriot, from Late Latin patriota,
from Greek patriOtEs, from patria lineage, from patr-, patEr father
: one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and
interests

Love for one's country is one thing. Blind adherence to
governmental authority is quite different.
