I have a different version of the origin of the word "partisan". In my opinion, this expression arose during the war of the Romans under the leadership of Emperor Trajan against Parthia in 115-117 AD (Trajan's Parthian War). The Romans captured most of Parthia, but could not hold it, mainly because of the uprisings of the local population, which waged a real guerrilla war against them. The Roman soldiers were afraid of the locals, they were afraid to fight with them in the mountainous regions of Parthia. Many Roman soldiers died at the hands of the Parthian rebels. In Italian, a resident of Parthia is PARTIGIANO. In my opinion, this is where the name of the word "Partizan" came from. Mark Lerer (talk) 09:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
