fraksion

Fraksion is a term used in several languages to denote a faction or sub-group within a larger organization. In political contexts, it refers to an organized group of members within a parliament or party who share a common agenda or leadership and coordinate to influence policy and procedure. Similar spellings are found in Turkish (fraksiyon) and other languages, where it functions as a direct equivalent of "faction" or sometimes "fraction" depending on context. In mathematics or science, some languages use a cognate form to translate "fraction," though the English term is distinct.

Beyond formal politics, fraksion can appear as a generic label for a group in fiction, games, or media, where it denotes a competing faction within a fictional universe. The word is often capitalized when used as a proper name for a faction in a story, brand, or game, but in general usage it remains a common noun.

Etymology and development: The term is linked to the idea of division or part of a whole, with cognates across several European languages. The usage and nuance differ by language; in some contexts it is synonymous with "faction," in others with "fraction" or sub-grouping.
