Noun

IPA: /biˈkiːni/ Audio: De-Bikini.ogg
Etymology: Borrowed from French bikini, named after the place name Bikini, from the French name of the atoll where the United States tested nuclear weapons in July 1946; it was reckoned that the bathing suit would cause as much excitement as an atom bomb. The name Bikini itself was originally the German colonial name of the atoll as part of German New Guinea, and this was derived from Marshallese Pikinni.
