rhinelander
ラインランダー
解説 Definition
ラインランダーはドイツのラインランド地域から来た人です。
A Rhinelander is a person from the Rhineland, the region of western Germany associated with the Rhine River. The word may also be used attributively for people, traditions, or products connected with that region, though Rhineland is the normal geographical name.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Rhinelander は Rhineland「ライン地方」に、住民を表す -er が付いた「ライン地方出身者」です。Rhine＋land＋er と区切り、「ライン川の土地の人」と組み立てて覚えましょう。a Rhinelander は人を指し、Rhinelander culture のように形容詞的にも使われますが、地域そのものは Rhineland です。
Break Rhinelander into Rhine, land, and the person-forming ending -er. The result is literally easy to picture: a person from the land around the Rhine. Compare Londoner or New Yorker, where a place-name similarly becomes a word for an inhabitant. Use a Rhinelander when referring to one person, and Rhinelanders for more than one. In an attributive phrase such as Rhinelander traditions, the word describes a regional connection. Do not use Rhinelander as the ordinary name of the territory itself; that geographical region is the Rhineland.

rhinelander の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「ライン川流域の人」の意。Rhineはケルト語*Rēnos（流れる水）に由来し、古高ドイツ語を経て英語に定着。接尾辞-landerは「～地方の住民」を表す。関連語はRhineland（ライン地方）、Netherlands（低地の国）。
Rhinelander is formed from Rhineland plus the inhabitant suffix -er, meaning a person belonging to or coming from that region. Rhine ultimately reflects a Celtic river name conventionally reconstructed as Rēnos and associated with flowing or running water. Land is the familiar Germanic word for territory. The complete English formation therefore denotes an inhabitant of the land around the Rhine River rather than the geographical region alone.
