Vandaln.adj.

Brit.

/ˈvandl/, U.S.

/ˈvænd(ə)l/

Forms: Also 1500s–1600s Vandale, 1600s Vandall, and with lower-case initial in transferred uses.

Etymology: < Latin Vandalus, plural Vandali (also -alii, -ili, -ilii, -uli), whence also French Vandale, Italian Vandalo, Spanish Vandalo, Portuguese Vandalo. Trevisa, in his translation of Higden (1387), uses the form Wandales. The different Latin forms indicate a variation of suffix in the Germanic stem, viz. *Wandal-, -il-, -ul-. The second of these is represented by Old English Wendlas (plural), Old Norse Vendill, designating inhabitants of the north of Jutland.

A. n.

1. A member of a Germanic tribe, which in the fourth and fifth centuries invaded Western Europe, and established settlements in various parts of it, esp. in Gaul and Spain, finally in 428–9 migrating to Northern Africa. Chiefly in plural.In the year 455 their king Genseric led a marauding expedition against Rome, which he took and completely sacked. The Vandals were overthrown by Belisarius in 533 at the battle of Tricamarum.
