Red Indiann.

Brit.

/ˌrɛd ˈɪndɪən/, U.S.

/ˈˌrɛd ˈɪndiən/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: red adj., Indian n.

Etymology: < red adj. + Indian n. Compare earlier red man n. 2, redskin n., and the foreign-language parallels cited at those entries. In sense 2 either after Micmac megwèjig Beothuck Indians, lit. ‘those that are red’ (compare quot. 1892), or formed independently in English as a descriptive term (see quot. 1768).Compare the following, apparently isolated, earlier example of the phrase with reference to inhabitants of South Asia (compare red adj. 5c), after French indien rouge (?1755 in the passage translated in the quot.):1757 tr. Voltaire Hist. War (ed. 3) iii. iv. 283 The black town [sc. George Town near Fort St George, now part of Chennai], peopled by merchants and artificers of all the Indian nations, Jews, Banians, Mahometans, Idolaters, Negroes of different kinds, red Indians [Fr. indiens rouges], and Mulattoes.

1. A member of any of the indigenous peoples of North America, esp. when considered collectively or generically. Frequently with lower-case initial at the first element. Cf. red man n. 2, redskin n. 1.Introduced to avoid confusion with the inhabitants of India. Now widely considered offensive, particularly in the United States (where the usual term is Native American) and Canada (where the peoples are referred to by preference as the First Nations).
