Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Italian Fiume, from Latin Flūmen, from flūmen (river).

Proper noun[edit]

Fiume

  1. (chiefly historical, potentially offensive) Synonym of Rijeka, a city in Croatia.
    • 2020, Dominique Kirchner Reill, The Fiume Crisis: Life in the Wake of the Habsburg Empire, Cambridge: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, page 1:
      Christmas 1920 was not what locals had come to anticipate in Fiume, the industrial port town in the northeast corner of the Adriatic Sea.
  2. (historical) A former polity in Europe, between 1920–1924.

Usage notes[edit]

Use of the name Fiume to describe modern Rijeka may be understood as supporting irredentist Italian claims to the city and its hinterland.
