X was an East Germanic tribe that became part of the late Roman Empire in the 5th century. Renaissance and Early Modern writers often described this tribe as barbarians, as their actions included sacking and looting Rome. The name X is associated with the name of a Swedish province, as it
is the original homeland of the X, before they migrated to the Roman
empire.
The modern day usage of the term Y is derived from X, to describe any senseless destruction, particularly destroying artworks. The term was coined in 1794 by Henri Grégoire, a bishop, to describe the destruction of artwork in the aftermath of the French Revolution. The term was quickly adopted across Europe. This new use of the term popularized the pre-existing idea that the X tribe was a barbaric group with a taste for destruction.
Identify X/Y. (It's pretty much the same word)
