A coupvolution or coup-volution is a portmanteau of a coup d'état and a revolution, in which regime change is carried out in support of a mass mobilisation against an existing government. The neologism was coined in 2011 by American military studies scholar Nathan Toronto, who used it to refer to the 2011 Egyptian revolution.
