  1. klan

    A klan refers to an organized group or faction, often possessing a strong communal or familial bond. However, the term is most recognized in relation to the American organization, the Ku Klux Klan, notoriously known for its racial terrorism and promoting white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration. The term, therefore, has negative connotations due to this association. The word 'klan' is derived from the Scottish term 'clan', meaning 'family' or 'children'.
