Bulgarian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Morphologically formed from върхо́вен (vǎrhóven, “supreme”), въ́рхов (vǎ́rhov, “top, peak”) + -ист (-ist, “agentive suffix”), semantically a calque of French absolutiste.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
върхови́ст • (vǎrhovíst) m
- (historical) supporter of a supreme, absolute idea or goal
Usage notes[edit]
The term is predominantly used in historical context to describe members of the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee (in Bulgarian: Върховен македоно-одрински комитет), who desired the complete unification of all Balkan Slavs formerly under Ottoman control. A lesser alternative of this goal was the formation of independent regional states (Macedonia, Shopluk, Thrace, Moesia, Dobrudja, etc.) for each ethnoregional group.
