Boycott was named after Captain Charles Boycott who lived in Co.Mayo, Ireland during the years of the Land League in Ireland. Charles Stuart Parnell headed the land league which was fighting for equal tenant rights for Irish farmers during the late 1800s. When Parnell called on the farmers to stop working for their landlords it was started in Mayo. The farmers working for Captain Boycott stopped working resulting in his crops and land to rot. After Captain Boycott left the methods used for this tactic was given the name boycott!
captain boycott in the ireland of the land disputes of 1880S was isolated by his tenants and got no labour for his farms.and this kimd of act became known locally as a boycott and then a verb to boycott was developed in general use
It is named after one Captain Charles Boycott in Ireland in 1880, an Englishman who was the estate agent of an absentee landlord, the Earl Erne, in County Mayo, Ireland, disliked by the local population who isolated him. Boycott: to not trade or communicate with. To ostracise.
I think there was one Captain Boycott in Ireland, and the locals didn't like him, so they 'Boycotted' him: to isolate, ignore, marginalise.
