"etymology_text": "First attested in 1683, as a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke (“Little John”), the old diminutive form of the common personal name Jan, or it may be from Jan Kees, the familiar form of \"Johan Cornelius\", or a variant of Jan Kaas, literally \"John Cheese\", the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen. It originally seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and applied it to the English. In English it was a term of contempt (1750s) before it came to be used as a general term for \"a native of New England\" (1765). The shortened form Yank was first recorded in reference to \"an American\" in 1778. James Fenimore Cooper suggested that it was a corruption of \"English\" via the intermediate form \"Yengeese.\"",

"etymology_text": "First attested in 1683, as a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke (“Little John”), the old diminutive form of the common personal name Jan, or it may be from Jan Kees, the familiar form of \"Johan Cornelius\", or a variant of Jan Kaas, literally \"John Cheese\", the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen. It originally seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and applied it to the English. In English it was a term of contempt (1750s) before it came to be used as a general term for \"a native of New England\" (1765). The shortened form Yank was first recorded in reference to \"an American\" in 1778. James Fenimore Cooper suggested that it was a corruption of \"English\" via the intermediate form \"Yengeese.\"",

"etymology_text": "First attested in 1683, as a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke (“Little John”), the old diminutive form of the common personal name Jan, or it may be from Jan Kees, the familiar form of \"Johan Cornelius\", or a variant of Jan Kaas, literally \"John Cheese\", the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen. It originally seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and applied it to the English. In English it was a term of contempt (1750s) before it came to be used as a general term for \"a native of New England\" (1765). The shortened form Yank was first recorded in reference to \"an American\" in 1778. James Fenimore Cooper suggested that it was a corruption of \"English\" via the intermediate form \"Yengeese.\"",

"etymology_text": "First attested in 1683, as a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke (“Little John”), the old diminutive form of the common personal name Jan, or it may be from Jan Kees, the familiar form of \"Johan Cornelius\", or a variant of Jan Kaas, literally \"John Cheese\", the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen. It originally seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and applied it to the English. In English it was a term of contempt (1750s) before it came to be used as a general term for \"a native of New England\" (1765). The shortened form Yank was first recorded in reference to \"an American\" in 1778. James Fenimore Cooper suggested that it was a corruption of \"English\" via the intermediate form \"Yengeese.\"",
