Äthiopien - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Ancient Greek Αἰθιοπία (Aithiopía), from Αἰθίοψ (Aithíops, “an Ethiopian”), traditionally said to mean "one with a charred complexion", from αἴθω (aíthō, “I burn”) + ὤψ (ṓps, “eye, face, complexion”), but this is formally difficult and seems like a folk etymology.

• IPA^(key): /ɛˈtjoːpi̯ən/, [ɛ-], [e-], [-pi.ən], [-pjən]
