1. 1政變(突襲式奪權;台灣不說德語借詞)

    A putsch is a sudden try to throw out a government by force. It is usually planned in secret by a small group — officers, a party, a gang — not by a huge crowd in the street. The word is German; English borrowed it. The one students meet in history class is Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, which failed. Though actually, people often treat putsch and coup as the same thing. Coup (from French coup d’état) is the word English uses more. Putsch in English often has a slightly rough feel, and it is used a lot for grabs that failed or looked . The “secret” part is the planning; once it starts, it may be very public. It is not a protest march, and it is not a long war. You will see it in history books and in political news.

組成Borrowed from German Putsch, from Alemannic German Putsch (“knock, thrust, blow”), of imitative origin — a word that copies the sound of a blow.
