Westsplaining (a blend word combining "West" and the modified form, "splaining", of the gerund, "explaining") is a term meaning "(of Western people) to comment on, or explain, something to allegedly less civilized people in a condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner." The term was coined after the expression "mansplaining".[1][2] Another term, related to "Westsplaining", is Westjacking.[3]
