Madagascarn.

Brit.

/ˌmadəˈɡaskə/, U.S.

/ˌmædəˈɡæskər/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Madagascar.

Etymology: < Madagascar, the name of a large island off the east coast of Africa (as an English place name 1599 in R. Hakluyt Princ. Navigations II. 286) < Middle French Madagascar (c1307 in Old French in form Madeigascar ), of uncertain origin; perhaps < Arabic *Madaqas-barr < a Malagasy self-designation (compare Malagasy Madagasi Madagass n.) + Arabic barr land (compare *Madeigascar-bār ‘land of the Malagasy’ in Encycl. Islam (1984) at Madagascar). Compare Malagache n. and adj., Malagasy adj. and n. The Malagasy name is Madagasikara but there is no Malagasy terminal element -(i)kara.The Old French form Madeigascar occurs (as the name of an island south of Socotra) in the Travels of Marco Polo (compare the variants Madeisgascat in the French version; Madagastar in the Latin version; Mandeschar, Mandesgascar, Magastar in the Italian version). Polo's reference is founded on distant report, and may conflate references to Madagascar and to Arabic Maqdišū, a port on the coast of Somalia (English Mogadishu), though a relationship between the two names is unlikely. The Portuguese discoverers of the island named it after St Lawrence; it appears to have been identified with the island described by Polo since the voyage of the French navigators Jean and Raoul Parmentier in 1529.

An inhabitant of the island of Madagascar. Obsolete. rare.
