Origin: A borrowing from Javanese. Etymon: Javanese abangan.
Etymology: < Javanese abangan (mid 19th cent. in this sense; short for wong abangan red people), adjectival derivative of abang ‘red’, also ‘brown’ (used of skin colour; see also quot. 1959).The term abangan is at present not widely used by the Javanese themselves, but was popularized by the American anthropologist C. Geertz in his book The Religion of Java (1960), when describing the various cultural variants found in Javanese society. The usual terms used by the Javanese are wong Islam ‘Muslim’ and wong Jawa ‘a follower of Javanese religion’.
With plural agreement. Indonesians, esp. Javanese, who are syncretically or culturally (rather than observantly) Muslim.
