Colombia

//koˈlom.bjɐ// name

Definitions

Proper Noun

1
A country in South America. Official name: Republic of Colombia. Capital: Bogotá.
"Fafo works with small trading nations such as Colombia because US markets could quickly adapt to the greater expense of its coffee, flowers and other exports. There will be a different order of chaos, though, if Trump follows through on tariffs on the EU (17 per cent of US imports), Mexico (15 per cent), China (14 per cent) or Canada (12 per cent)."

Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish Colombia, from Italian Colombo (“Cristoforo Colombo”); named after Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus (1451–1506). Equivalent to Colombo + -ia; piecewise doublet of Columbia.
