pennsylvanian
ペンシルベニア州の人・州の
解説 Definition
アメリカのペンシルベニア州出身の人、またはその州に関するさま。
A Pennsylvanian is a person from or living in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. As an adjective, Pennsylvanian means belonging to or associated with that state; in geology, it can also name a subdivision of the Carboniferous Period.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Pennsylvania に -an が付いた語で、人なら「ペンシルベニア州民」、名詞の前なら Pennsylvanian history や Pennsylvanian landscape のように「同州の」を表します。Penn＋sylvania「ペンの森」という州名の成り立ちと、sylvan「森の」を結び付けると綴りを保ちやすく、通常は大文字で書きます。
Start with Pennsylvania and add the ending -an, which often forms words for inhabitants or regional adjectives. A Pennsylvanian can therefore be a person from the state, while “Pennsylvanian history” or “Pennsylvanian farmland” describes something connected with it. The state name combines Penn with a form of Latin silva, “forest,” so sylvan, meaning “wooded,” is a useful spelling connection. Keep the capital P because the word comes from a place name. In geology, watch for a specialized use referring to part of the Carboniferous Period.

pennsylvanian の語源・成り立ち Etymology
人名Penn + ラテン語silva（森）+ 接尾辞-anで「ペンの森の人」。1681年にウィリアム・ペンの父への借金返済として英国王チャールズ2世が命名した植民地名に由来。silvaはsylvan（森の）と同根。地質学では石炭紀の別名Pennsylvanianとしても使われる。
Pennsylvanian is formed from Pennsylvania plus the inhabitant and adjective suffix -an. Pennsylvania was named in 1681 in honor of Admiral William Penn, father of the colony’s founder; its name combines Penn with Latin silva, “forest,” giving the sense “Penn’s woods.” Silva is also related to English sylvan. The geological use of Pennsylvanian developed from rock strata studied in Pennsylvania and names a subdivision of the Carboniferous.
