Brit.

/ɑːˈmɒrᵻkən/, U.S.

/ɑrˈmɔrəkən/

Forms: late Middle English– Armorican, 1500s Armoricane, 1600s Aremorican.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Armorica , -an suffix.

Etymology: < Armorica, the name of a region of ancient Gaul extending between the Seine and Loire rivers and including Brittany ( < classical Latin Armorica : see note) + -an suffix. Compare post-classical Latin Armoricanus (5th cent.). Compare also Middle French armoricien (1514 or earlier), and French armoricain (1838) and armorique (see Armoric adj.). In use as adjective in geology (see sense A. 2) after German armoricanisch ( E. Suess Antlitz der Erde (1888) II. ii. 101, the passage translated in quot. 1906; now armorikanisch).Compare the following isolated earlier borrowings of the Latin adjective as a place name (in quot. OE with the ending reflecting the Latin ablative singular):OE tr. Bede Eccl. Hist. (Cambr. Univ. Libr.) i. i. 28 Is þæt sæd, ðæt hi [sc. Bryttas] comon fram Armoricano þære mægeþe [L. de tractu Armoricano] on Breotone.c1400 Brut (Rawl. B. 171) 42 I wille þat þis lande haue þe same name, and nomore bene callede Amorican [1482 Caxton Armorican], but bene callede ‘litel Britaigne’. The classical Latin place name Armorica is a use as noun (short for cīvitās Armorica state of Armorica) of the adjective Armoricus (also Aremoricus ), designating this region < Gaulish aremoricos (adjective) that lives by the sea < are in front of, beside ( < the same Indo-European base as fore prep.) + mori sea (see mere n.¹) + a suffix forming adjectives (related to classical Latin -icus -ic suffix); compare Gaulish moric- of or relating to the sea (chiefly in personal names). Compare Anglo-Norman Armoniche (late 12th cent. in an apparently isolated example, perhaps transmission error) and Middle French, French Armorique (1514), both forms of the place name. Variants of the name in English include: ME Armoric, Armoriche, Armorik, (in a late copy) Armorike, 15–16 Armorick, Armoricke, 15– Armorica; compare the following early examples:c1275 (?a1200) Laȝamon Brut (Calig.)
