/ˌkɒləˈrɑːdəʊ/, U.S.

/ˌkɑləˈrɑdoʊ/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Colorado.

Etymology: < the name of the United States territory and (later) state of Colorado, itself named after the Colorado River (Spanish Río Colorado), which rises within it.The Colorado River (Spanish Río Colorado , lit. ‘red river’ < río river (see rio n.²) + colorado red: see colorado n.¹) is so called on account of the red colour of much of the countryside through which it flows, and from which it carries sediment. Compare Mojave 'Aha Kwahwat, lit. ‘red water’, although it is likely that the Spanish name was formed independently, since in the 18th cent. the Spanish apparently knew little of the local languages. Compare the following early examples of the river name:1743 J. Lockman tr. Trav. Jesuits I. 356 The Rio azul, or blue River..discharges its own [Waters] from East to West into the great River Colorado...The Colorado empties itself in the Sea, on the Eastern Side of California.1791 Literary & Biogr. Mag. Feb. 118 Continuing our route, we forded the Red, or Colorado river. The name of the river was occasionally applied attributively to associated areas in the 19th cent. (e.g. Colorado valley (1836 or earlier), Colorado desert (1853 or earlier)). As a political unit, Colorado was founded as an organized incorporated territory of the United States on 28 Feb. 1861; it became the State of Colorado on 1 Aug. 1876.
