Not showing love, loyalty, or support for one's country; opposing national interests or values.
From the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' plus 'patriotic' (from Greek 'patris' meaning 'fatherland' plus '-ic'). The word became common in the 1800s as nations solidified.
Calling something 'unpatriotic' is tricky because patriotism itself means different things to different people—critics and citizens can both claim the other is unpatriotic, making it one of the most politically charged words in English!
