The Dutch and French word flamingant refers to adherents of the Flemish Movement and originated as a pejorative term by Belgian nationalists. It may be derived from Flamins, the Walloon word for Flemings. The word can be equally used as an adjective or substantive and the term flamingantisme is sometimes used to designate their ideology. The word wallingant is similarly used to describe adherents of the Walloon Movement which also gives rise to the comparable term wallingantisme.
