Etymology [edit]
From Latin Germanus, Germani (“the peoples of Germania”), as distinct from Gauls (in the writings of Caesar and Tacitus), and of uncertain ultimate origin (possibly Celtic). Not related to the Latin adjective germānus (whence the English words german and germane, through Old French). First attested in 1520 and replaced the older terms Almain and Dutch in English.
Pronunciation [edit]
German (plural Germans)
- A native or inhabitant of Germany; a person of German citizenship or nationality.
- A member of the Germanic ethnic group which is the most populous ethnic group in Germany; a person of German descent.
- A member of a Germanic tribe.
- Rome was sacked by Germans and the Western Roman Empire collapsed.
