OBS
This term covers a very narrow semantic field, and is currently used only in the restricted context of British Columbia politics. Nevertheless, it could easily become a generic reference for those who follow a political leader blindly. The French equivalent is similar in form to the English, since the suffixes "-oid" in English and "-oide" in French both come from Greek "eidos" meaning "appearance of form." Naturally the French equivalent proposed here would have to be used strictly in reference to British Columbia. 2, fiche 1, Anglais, - Zalmoid
