Where this word comes from

Internationalism, based on Tswana Botswana, the Setswana name of the country. The name is formed from bo- (“country or territory noun-class prefix”) and Tswana (“Tswana”), and thus means approximately “country of the Tswana”. The further origin of Tswana is uncertain. Parallel international adaptations include Norwegian Nynorsk Botswana, Danish Botswana, Swedish Botswana, German Botswana, Dutch Botswana and English Botswana.
