The Vietnamese word "bảo hoàng" is an adjective that means "royalist." It is used to describe someone who is very supportive of a monarchy or has strong feelings towards royal authority. The term can imply a sense of loyalty or devotion to royal figures or the royal system.
In more nuanced contexts, "bảo hoàng" can be used to critique someone for being excessively loyal or supportive, suggesting that their devotion is almost ridiculous or unnecessary.
While "bảo hoàng" primarily refers to a royalist perspective, in certain contexts, it could also imply someone who is overly protective or devoted to a cause or person, not just in a royal sense.
