"The root of the word protestant is clearly PROTEST,it speaks of the denominations that came from the reformation and the attempt to reform some of the erroneous teachings that had entered Rome."You really need to pick a horse and ride it. The same person who was arguing the definiton of the word "same" a few hours ago by quoting the dictionary now chooses to ignore the same dictionary when it doesn't support her case.....go figure.

I don’t know if it is true, but I’ve read that PROTESTANT originally meant a proclaimer - someone with a confession of faith.
Origin:
153040; < G or F, for L protestantes, pl. of prp. of protestari to bear public witness. See protest, -ant
