Word origin
The word 'factional' originates from the noun 'faction', which came into English in the mid-16th century from the Latin 'factio' meaning 'a doing, a company, a class'. The suffix '-al' was added to create the adjective form. Over time, 'factional' has come to be commonly used in the contexts of politics, literature, and social dynamics to describe situations involving opposing groups within a larger entity.
