Indian 印度人，印第安人
来自波斯语Hindu,河流名，后用于指整个印度。后该词也用来指美洲的土著印第安人，来自16世纪哥伦布初到美洲大陆时误以为到了印度大陆，因此便称当地土著人为印度人，更准确的说法为American Indian.
英语词源
- Indian
- "inhabit of India or South Asia," c. 1300 (noun and adjective); applied to the native inhabitants of the Americas from at least 1553, on the mistaken notion that America was the eastern end of Asia. Red Indian, to distinguish them from inhabitants of India, is first attested 1831 (Carlyle) but was not commonly used in North America. More than 500 modern phrases include Indian, most of them U.S. and most impugning honesty or intelligence, such as Indian giver, first attested 1765 in Indian gift:
An Indian gift is a proverbial expression, signifying a present for which an equivalent return is expected. [Thomas Hutchinson, "History of Massachusetts Bay," 1765]
Meaning "one who gives a gift and then asks for it back" first attested 1892.
