Origin
Early 18th century. Partly from the name of the Pangasinan river and province in central Luzon Island in the Philippines, and partly from their etymon Pangasinan pangasinan, lit. ‘place used for getting salt’ (from pang-, instrumental prefix + asín salt + -an, locative suffix), probably via Spanish.
