Revolutionary
A revolutionary is a person who either participates in, or advocates a revolution. The term ''revolutionary'' can also be used as an adjective, to refer to something that has a major, sudden impact on society or on some aspect of human endeavor.

Likewise, evidently small changes may lead to revolutionary consequences in the long term. Thus the clarity of the distinction between rev ...
