Meaning & usage

name/¹ˈkɔsːɔʋuː/[ˈkɔ̂sːɔʋuː]
  1. Kosovo; a country in the Balkans, Europe, with Pristina as its capital.

Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Serbo-Croatian Kȍsovo, originally an ellipsis of Serbo-Croatian Kosovo polje (“Blackbird Field”). The element Kosovo is the neuter singular of a possessive adjective formed from kos (“blackbird”) with the possessive suffix -ov, agreeing with polje (“field”). The name therefore literally means “blackbird's field”, or more idiomatically “field of blackbirds”. Compare the parallel borrowings Danish Kosovo, Swedish Kosovo, German Kosovo, Dutch Kosovo, Finnish Kosovo and Czech Kosovo.
