The word was derived from an Italian renaissance thinker Niccolo Machiavelli, a philosopher, historian and most notably a political thinker. He wrote one of the most influential books which shaped the game of politics and has a massive impact on contemporary politics, the book called the prince which is practically a manual on how to obtain and maintain the power by any means necessary.
