Example sentencesExamples

- Fresh perspectives on familiar topics - Fenianism, the land war, and de Valera and women - also emerge from three articles distinguished by the quality and scope of their archival research.

- The number of political street ballads that were written and sold in Dublin about the Manchester martyrs and the Invincible society also indicates that Fenianism did indeed penetrate the popular culture of working-class Dublin.

Origin

From Old Irish féne, the name of an ancient Irish people, confused with fíann, fianna (see Fianna Fáil).

Rhymes

Armenian, Athenian, Magdalenian, Mycenaean (US Mycenean), Slovenian, Tyrrhenian
