Where this word comes from

From antillan- (“Antillean”) + -sk (“adjective-forming suffix”), ultimately based on Antillene (“the Antilles”). The geographical name probably entered Norwegian via Danish Antillerne (“the Antilles”), ultimately from Spanish Antillas (“the Antilles”), plural of Antilla, from Medieval Latin Antillia, the name of a legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean. The deeper origin of the name is disputed. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk antillansk, Danish antillansk, Swedish antillisk, Dutch Antilliaans, German antillisch, French antillais, Spanish antillano and English Antillean.
