覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Friesian は地名 Friesland に地域・出身を表す -ian が付いた形として覚える。Friesian cattle は乳量で知られる牛、Friesian horse は黒い毛色と優雅な姿で知られる馬を指す。地域・民族・言語では Frisian という綴りも一般的なので、対象と辞書の綴りを確認する。
Link Friesian directly to Friesland, the coastal region in the northern Netherlands and nearby areas. The ending -ian signals association or origin. Two useful combinations are “Friesian cattle,” known especially for dairy production, and “Friesian horse,” a Dutch breed admired for its black coat and elegant movement. Notice that Frisian, without the extra e, is the usual spelling for the people, language, and broader regional adjective, while Friesian remains common in animal-breed names, especially in British usage.

friesian の語源・成り立ち Etymology
オランダ北部の州フリースランド（Friesland）に由来し、古代ゲルマン民族フリジア人（Frisii）の名から。この地方原産の乳牛品種を指す。関連語：Frisian（フリジア語）、Friesland。
Friesian is formed from Friesia or Friesland, the homeland of the Frisians, plus the adjectival ending -ian. The regional name ultimately reflects Latin Frisii, the name recorded for an ancient Germanic people of the North Sea coast. Friesian became especially established in the names of livestock breeds originating in the Netherlands, including dairy cattle and the Friesian horse. Frisian is the usual modern spelling in linguistic and ethnic contexts.
