Indonesia - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

(late nineteenth century) Attested circa 1850,[1] composed of Ancient Greek Ἰνδός (Indós, “Indian”) +‎ Ancient Greek νῆσος (nêsos, “island”); initially, in competition with Insulinde, of the same meaning, lexically constructed on a Latin basis, or in reference to the East Indies archipelago.

  1. ^ J. R. Logan (1850) “The Ethnology of the Indian Archipelago: embracing enquiries into the Continental relations of the Indo-Pacific Islanders”, in J. R. Logan, editor, The Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia, volume 4, Singapore, pages 254, 2nd footnote:

    For reasons which will be obvious on reading a subsequent note, I prefer the purely geographical term Indonesia, which is merely a shorter synonym for the Indian Islands or the Indian Archipelago. We thus get Indonesian for Indian Archipelagian or Archipelagic, and Indonesians for Indian Archipelagians or Indian Islanders. I have no affection for the multiplication of semi-grecian words, and would gladly see all the nesias wiped off the map if good Saxon equivalents could be substituted.
