Etymology: < Spanish Mosquito (1615) and its etymon Miskito Miskito, of uncertain origin.The word is attested earlier in English in the place names Cape muskeetoe (and variants), the musketoes (and variants) (the latter referring to the group of islands now known as the Miskito Cays or Cayos Miskito ). Compare:1631 D. Ellffryth in William & Mary Q. (1944) 1 312 You must steere away north west and by north ffor Cape muskeetoe.1631 D. Ellffryth in William & Mary Q. (1944) 1 313 Now ffolloweth the Course ffrom provedence to the musketoes. The variation of the first vowel in the early forms may reflect the Miskito pronunciation with /ᵻ/ (compare the note s.v. mishla n.). In all the forms before the late 19th cent. the word was assimilated to mosquito n. Compare:1779 H. L. Thrale Diary 15 Aug. in Thraliana (1942) I. 400 Never was there such a Year for..all manner of Insects..as this year 1779...

From the late 19th cent. onwards, the forms increasingly reflect the Miskito spelling. Compare Spanish Miskito (1983), Misquito (1985).

A. adj.

Of or relating to an American Indian people living in a coastal region of eastern Nicaragua and north-eastern Honduras.The region is often referred to as the Mosquito Coast (earlier Mosquito Shore). The Miskito king placed his people under British protection towards the end of the 17th cent., at which time British settlers began to arrive. The region was a British dependency between 1740 and 1786. British influence declined following the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850, and the region ceased to be a British protectorate in 1860. It was absorbed into Nicaragua in 1894.
