In a book titled ' NATIONALISM ' by Liah Greenfeild published by Harvard University Press, Cambridge , Massachusetts 1992 .

Liah Greenfield writes ( page 4 ) under ' the Origin of the Idea of the " Nation " the following :

" ... The origin of the word is to be found in the Latin - natio --- something born. The initial concept was derogatory; in Rome the name NATIO was reserved for groups of foreigners coming from the same geographical region, whom status - because they were foreigners- was below that of the Roman citizens. The concept was thus similar in meaning to the Greek TA ETHNE, also used to designate foreigners and, specifically, heathens, and Hebrew ' AMAMEM ܥܡܐ' which referred to those who did not belong to the chosen monotheistic people ... "

As we see above that Nationalism is derived from ' NATIO ' and also it means people ( in Assyrian language ܥܡܐ OR ܐܢܫܐ/ nashu/o - natio
