I agree with you it's ridiculous how word's definition are getting so fluid and lose the essence of what they meant.

Terrorist is more particular cause it's been "fluid" cause it's change depending on the point of view. A Resistant for one would be the Terrorist of another one.

Huh, I wonder if the word terrorist has ever had its definition changed before? Like if the original meaning was state repression, for example, but later changed because it suited political aims of the time?

Words are just politics. They don't really mean anything, I'm afraid. Literally 1984
