balinese の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Balinese は地名 Bali に、-nese（-ese の一種で「〜の人・言語」を表す接尾辞）を付けた語。-ese はイタリア語・フランス語系を経てラテン語 -ensis にさかのぼり、「バリに属する人」からバリ人の意味になった。関連語は Japanese, Chinese。
Balinese is formed from the place name Bali and the suffix -ese, with an inserted n linking the base and suffix. English -ese came through Romance forms and ultimately reflects Latin -ensis, an ending meaning “of or belonging to a place.” The same suffix appears in nationality and language names such as Japanese and Chinese. Balinese consequently developed the senses “of Bali,” “a person of Bali,” and “the language associated with Bali.”
