Ackchually, the word Nazi was originally derogatory towards the National Socialist party. It stems from the Nat-Sozial sounding similar to the nickname Nazi or Naczi (shortening of the proper name Ignatz) which was colloquial for a foolish or awkward person. The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) never used the word Nazi to describe themselves.
