factionalism

/ˈfækʃənəˌɫɪzəm/ noun

Conflict between factions.

Word Origin Factionalism comes from faction, which originally meant 'a doing, a making' — from Latin facere 'to do'. A faction is a group that 'does' things together, often in opposition. The root facere is everywhere: fact, factory, affect, effect, perfect, manufacture. The suffix -alism turns it into a political tendency, so factionalism is the practice of splitting into do-groups.
