单词 grenadian
释义

Grenadianadj.n.

Brit. /ɡrᵻˈneɪdɪən/, U.S. /ɡrəˈneɪdiən/, Caribbean English /ɡrɪˈneːdjan/, /ɡrɪˈneːdjʌn/, /ɡrɪˈneːdian/, /ɡrɪˈneːdiʌn/
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Grenada , -ian suffix.
Etymology: < Grenada, the name of an island and (subsequently) a country in the Lesser Antilles (Windward Islands) + -ian suffix.The European name of the island is attested in Spanish contexts from the first half of the 16th cent. (as Granada ) and in English contexts from the first half of the 17th cent. (earliest as Granada ). In Spanish, Granada is also the name of the city and former kingdom of Granada in Spain (compare Granado n.), and hence of a 16th-cent. Spanish colony in South America (more fully Nueva Reino de Granada), but it is unclear whether or how these relate to the naming of the island. Grenada was a French colony until 1763, so the current English place name form Grenada (late 17th cent.) may have been influenced by French (la) Grenade, the name of the island (17th cent.) and of the colony in South America (16th cent.); compare Middle French, French Grenade, the name of the city in Spain (14th cent. or earlier). Compare earlier use of Grenadian denoting a native or inhabitant of Grenada in Spain:1725 tr. A. R. Le Sage Gil Blas (ed. 2) III. ii. vii. 197 With all my Heart (reply'd the young Grenadian) I am going to make you a sincere Recital of my History.
