disciple

Usage Note

Seguace is an epicene noun — it keeps the same form for masculine and feminine, changing only the article: il seguace (m), la seguace (f). The plural is seguaci for both genders. It implies loyal, often ideological following — stronger and more committed than a casual sostenitore (supporter). Frequently used in religious, political, and philosophical contexts.

Examples

"I seguaci del leader erano fedeli."

Natural Translation

The leader's followers were loyal.
