Word History: An iconoclast can be unpleasant company, but at least the modern iconoclast only attacks such things as ideas and institutions. The original iconoclasts destroyed countless works of art. Eikonoklasts, the ancestor of our word, was first formed in Medieval Greek from the elements eikn, “image, likeness,” and -klasts, “breaker,” from kln, “to break.” The images referred to by the word are religious images, which were the subject of controversy among Christians of the Byzantine Empire in the 8th and 9th centuries, when iconoclasm was at its height. In addition to destroying many sculptures and paintings, those opposed to images attempted to have them barred from display and veneration. During the Protestant Reformation images in churches were again felt to be idolatrous and were once more banned and destroyed. It is around this time that iconoclast, the descendant of the Greek word, is first recorded in English (1641), with reference to the Byzantine iconoclasts. In the 19th century iconoclast took on the secular sense that it has today, as in “Kant was the great iconoclast” (James Martineau).

I searched this word at dictionary.com and it didn't have that word in its dictionary. It did have iconoclastic which means:
One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.
One who destroys sacred religious images.
Hope that helps. I didn't know if you just had a typo or if there is such a word.

Answer 4

You've got the word spelled incorrectly. It is spelled "Iconoclastic." The meanings are:

1. One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or
popular ideas or institutions.

2. One who destroys sacred religious images.

Answer 5

One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.
One who destroys sacred religious images.

This answer assumes you meant iconoclastic, not icononclastic. the latter is a common mis-spelling of the former.

Answer 6

Iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives. In Christian circles, iconoclasm has generally been motivated by a literal interpretation of the second of the ten commandments, which forbids the making and worshipping of "graven images". It has sometimes been motivated by christological or even political concerns as well.
