[edit] Etymology

From Maori kiwi.

[edit] Noun

kiwi (plural kiwis)

1. A flightless bird of the genus Apteryx native to New Zealand.
2. A person from New Zealand - (preferably Kiwi).
3. A New Zealand dollar.
4. A kiwi fruit - not used in New Zealand where the full name is used.

[edit] Usage notes

• Spelling of the word Kiwi, when used to describe the people, is capitalised, and takes the plural form 'Kiwis'. The bird's name is spelt with a lower-case k and, being a word of Maori origin, stays as 'kiwi' when pluralised. Thus, 'two Kiwis' refers to two people, whereas 'two kiwi' refers to two birds

[edit] Synonyms

• (kiwi fruit): Chinese gooseberry (dated), kiwi fruit
