A Huguenot was a French Protestant in the 1500s and 1600s. In those years most of France was Catholic, and Huguenots were often treated very badly; some were killed, and many ran away to other countries, including England and what later became the United States. You meet the word in history class, not in daily chat. It names a group of people and their faith, not a job and not a personality. English took it from French huguenot; scholars are not sure where the French word itself came from, so it is honest to stop there.
胡格諾派(十六、十七世紀的法國新教徒)
組成From French huguenot. The origin of the French word is not certain.
