völkisch (strong nominative masculine singular völkischer, comparative völkischer, superlative am völkischsten)

1. (rare, now dated, relational) pertaining to a people
2. (dated) national

   Synonym: national (see also staatlich, innerstaatlich)

3. (dated, especially in white supremacy and Nazism) ethnic, pertaining to a people (especially the German people) as a (putative) race (compare ethnisch)
4. (by extension) populist, nationalist, ethnonationalist

The word often has a negative connotation now because of its propaganda usage in Nazi Germany, in which the meaning shifted from earlier “national” to “ethnic”.
