papalagin.adj.

Brit.

/papəˈlaŋi/, U.S.

/ˌpɑpəˈlæŋi/, New Zealand English

/pʌˈpʌːlʌŋi/,

/pəˈpʌːləŋi/,

/pɛpəˈlɛŋi/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, papalagis.

Forms: 1800s– papalangi, 1900s– papalagi.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Samoan. Partly a borrowing from Tongan. Etymons: Samoan papālagi; Tongan papālagi.

Etymology: < Samoan papālagi and its cognate Tongan papālagi a European, a white person, Europeans, white people, place where white people come from, of uncertain origin. Compare palagi n.The ultimate etymology of this word has been a matter of much conjecture, summarized in J. Tent & P. Geraghty ‘Exploding sky or exploded myth: the origin of papālagi’ in Jrnl. Polynesian Soc. 110 (2001) 171–224. Tent and Geraghty propose that the term originates from Malay barang goods, articles, and was introduced into Tonga by Malay-speaking crew during Tasman's visit to Tonga in 1643. The meaning development would hence have been from an original meaning ‘European goods for barter’.
