The name of a man who betrayed his country to its enemies. A quisling is a traitor, more specifically a traitor who collaborates with the enemy to promote occupation and suppression of a native people. This word is of Norwegian origin, making it one of the few Norwegian terms to enter the English language, and the history of "quisling" is actually quite fascinating. Needless to say, the Norwegians are not particularly proud of this particular word of Norwegian origin, and they would prefer to see people remembering linguistic contributions
