saboteur
의미: A person who deliberately destroys, damages, or obstructs something, especially as a political or military act of resistance or subversion.
Saboteur evokes clandestine destruction — railway lines blown up in wartime, factory machinery wrecked during industrial disputes, or digital systems compromised from within. It is used in military history, espionage fiction, political rhetoric, and corporate contexts where someone is accused of undermining a project or process from the inside. The word retains a distinctly French flavour in English.
