Chouann.¹

/ʃwɒ̃/

Etymology: French: variously conjectured to be from the name of Jean Chouan, said to be one of their leaders, and < chouan an older form of chat-huant a species of owl. Probably the coincidence suggested the appellation.

A name given to irregular bands who maintained in the west of France a partisan war against the Republic and the first Empire, after 1793, and also appeared again in 1832; hence a polemical name for partisans of the Bourbons. Also attributive.
