Emmet (Cornish) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Emmet (Cornish)
Emmet (alt spellings emmit or emit) is a pejorative nickname that some Cornish people use to refer to the non-Cornish. It originally referred to tourists who visit Cornwall but has also been used by native Cornish Folk to refer to "incomers" or residents who have moved to the county but were not born there. ==Etymology== It is commonly thought to be derived from the Cornish-language word for ant, being an analogy to the way in which both tourists and ants are often red in colour and appear to mill around. However the use of 'emmet' to mean ants is actually from the Cornish dialect of English and is derived from the Old English word ''æmete'' from which the modern English word ant, is also derived (compare Modern German ''Ameise'' ()). The Cornish word for ant is actually ''moryonenn'' (pl. ''moryon'') 〔An English-Cornish And Cornish-English Dictionary - R.
