==Origin== Use of [[Vidkun Quisling]]'s surname as a term predates World War II. The first recorded use of the term was by [[Labour Party (Norway)|Norwegian Labour Party]] politician [[Oscar Torp]] in a 2 January 1933 newspaper interview, where he used it as a general term for Quisling's followers. Quisling was at this point in the process of establishing the [[Nasjonal Samling]] (National Unity) party, a fascist party modelled on the German [[Nazi Party]]. Further uses of the term were made by [[Aksel Sandemose]], in a newspaper article in {{lang|no|[[Dagbladet]]}} in 1934, and by the newspaper ''[[Vestfold Arbeiderblad]]'', in 1936.<ref name="Leksicon" /> The term with the opposite meaning, a Norwegian patriot, is {{lang|no|[[Jøssingfjord#History|Jøssing]]}}.
