limitrophen.adj.

Brit.

/ˈlɪmᵻtrəʊf/, U.S.

/ˈlɪməˌtroʊf/

Forms: 1500s–1600s lymitrophe, 1500s– limitrophe, 1700s limitroph.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French limitrophe; Latin limitrophus, limitotrophus.

Etymology: < (i) Middle French, French limitrophe situated on or near the frontier (1467), (of a country) bordering on, adjacent to (another country) (1587), and its etymon (ii) post-classical Latin limitrophus, variant of limitotrophus, applied to lands set apart for the support of troops on the frontier (5th cent.) < Byzantine Greek λιμιτόν ( < classical Latin līmit- , līmes limit n.) + ancient Greek -τρόϕος , combining form < an ablaut variant of the base of τρέϕειν to nourish (see tropho- comb. form).Compare Spanish limítrofe (1786), Italian limitrofo (1644), adjectives. The English use as noun has no parallel in the Romance languages; in quot. 1589 at sense A. it may result from a misapprehension of the French original, which uses the adjective limitrophe.

A. n.

A borderland; an immediately neighbouring country.
