Etymology

The term 'dovish' derives from the word 'dove,' which is traditionally a symbol of peace in various cultures. The association of the dove with peace goes back to ancient times, as evidenced by its use in religious and cultural symbolism. The word gained prominence in political discourse during the 20th century when it became commonly used to describe individuals or factions within political parties who preferred negotiation over military intervention. The contrast is often made with the term 'hawkish,' which denotes a preference for military action. Consequently, 'dovish' has evolved into a key descriptor in discussions about war, peace, and diplomatic relations, especially in the context of policy-making.
