Cherokee
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˌt͡ʃɛ.ɹəˈkiː/
Forms: form: Cherokees
form: Cherokee
Etymology: Most likely from the Cherokee autonym ᏣᎳᎩ (tsalagi). Derivation from a Choctaw exonym meaning "those who live in caves" (compare chiluk (“cave”)) has also been suggested — the Iroquois term for the Cherokee was Oyata'ge'ronon (“inhabitants of the cave country”) — as has derivation from a Creek term for "person(s) who speak(s) a non-Creek language" (see celokketv (“to speak a non-creek language”)).
Whatever its origin, the ethnonym entered European languages at an early date, perhaps as early as the 1670s; in Spanish, the people are called the Tchalaquei as early as 1755.
Senses: glosses: A member of an indigenous North American people.
