Austria

//ˈɒs.tɹɪə// name

Definitions

Proper Noun

1
A country in Central Europe. Official name: Republic of Austria. Capital and largest city: Vienna.

Etymology

From Latin Austria, a Latinization of Old High German Ōstarrīhhi, the first element of which means "east" and stems from Proto-Germanic *austraz (“eastern”), and the second element of which is rīhhi (“realm”). See east, eastern for more. Distantly cognate to Australia: it derives from the same Proto-Indo-European root, but via Latin, where it came to mean “south” rather than “east”. Compare also Austrasia.
