覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
この見出しでは Colorado 州の都市なら Pueblo と大文字で書き、in Pueblo、arrive in Pueblo と使います。一方、a traditional Pueblo community では米国南西部の先住民・文化を表します。スペイン語 pueblo「村、人々」を核に、「人々が暮らす集落」から地名と文化名へ広がったと整理しましょう。
Connect Pueblo with Spanish pueblo, meaning a town, village, or people. That core idea of a settled community supports both uses in this entry. On a travel map, Pueblo is the Colorado city, so expressions such as arrive in Pueblo and a guide in Pueblo identify the place. In cultural or historical writing, Pueblo can describe Indigenous peoples and communities of the American Southwest, as in a traditional Pueblo community. Capitalization is normal in both the city name and the cultural name; nearby words reveal which meaning is intended.

pueblo の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スペイン語 pueblo（村・人々）から。ラテン語 populus（人民・民衆）が起源。アメリカ南西部の先住民の集落建築や、その居住地を指す。関連語：people（人々）、public（公共の）。「人々が集まる場所」が原義。
Pueblo was borrowed from Spanish pueblo, meaning a village, town, or people. The Spanish word descends from Latin populus, “people,” which also lies behind English words such as people, population, and public through later linguistic developments. In North America, Spanish speakers applied pueblo to settled Indigenous communities, and the term subsequently became an ethnocultural designation and the name of places including Pueblo, Colorado.
