Root Explanation

Ultraleft is formed from "ultra-" (meaning beyond or extreme) and "left" (from Old English "lyft", meaning left side or direction). The term ultraleft refers to political ideologies or movements that are considered to be extreme or far-left in their views.

Memory Tip

Think of 'ultra-' meaning beyond or extreme, and 'left' referring to a political direction. This helps you remember that ultraleft describes ideas that go beyond the usual leftist views.
