Etymology: < Spanish quechua, quichua member of an Indian people (1551 as Quechuas , plural: see note), (as adjective) designating the language spoken by this people (1572 as quichua , 1575 as quechua ), sometimes also designating the Quechua people (1609) < Quechua qichwa temperate valley, people who live in a temperate valley. Compare French quichua , quéchua (1733 as †quechua in the passage translated in quot. 1734 at sense A. 1; also 1765 as quichoa as both noun and adjective, with reference to the language). With use as adjective compare earlier Quechuan adj.The Spanish word originally referred to an Indian tribe who inhabited the Southern Peruvian Highlands. This tribe was conquered by the Incas (who were primarily Aymara speakers); after the establishment of the Spanish in the former Inca territory, the name was applied to all the populations that spoke the Quechua language (in parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, north-western Argentina, and Chile).
