覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
都市名では Chilliwack と語頭を大文字にし、in Chilliwack、travel to Chilliwack の形で使う。ブリティッシュコロンビア州の農業都市という典型像を、Chilliwack River、自然景観、アウトドア活動と一緒に覚える。一般語の chili や whack に分解する語ではない。
Treat Chilliwack as one place-name and capitalize it. Learn it through the patterns in Chilliwack, travel to Chilliwack, and the Chilliwack River. A useful mental picture is a farming city in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley surrounded by river and mountain scenery, which connects the name with both agricultural production and outdoor activities. Do not analyze it as the ordinary English words chilli and whack; that resemblance is accidental. Its Indigenous place-name origin is a more reliable memory link than its English-looking spelling.

chilliwack の語源・成り立ち Etymology
カナダ先住民ストーロー族のハルコメレム語に由来。「上流へ戻る」を意味するとされ、フレーザー川支流の地理的特徴を反映している。ブリティッシュコロンビア州の都市名として定着した。関連語: Stó:lō（川の民を意味する部族名）。
Chilliwack is an English spelling of a local Indigenous name from Halkomelem, a Salish language spoken by Stó:lō communities in the Fraser Valley. The name is commonly explained as referring to going back upstream, reflecting the area’s river geography. Several historical spellings appeared before Chilliwack became established as the name of the British Columbia community. It is therefore best learned as a complete place-name rather than divided into the unrelated English words chilli and whack.
