jacquerie
A revolt organized by peasants, typically violent.
A jacquerie, even if carried out with the most respectful of intentions, cannot fail to leave some traces of embarrassment behind it.
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French jacquerie, from Jacquerie (derogatory nickname for peasants, literally “James”) + -erie. First attested in the early 1500s. In reference to the Jacquerie uprising of 1358 during the Hundred Years' War.
