The opprobrious gringo first rang in American ears during the Mexican War. While appreciating that gringo wasn't a compliment, Americans were not sure of its exact meaning. Americans wondered about the origin of the epithet and managed to come up with some remarkably picturesque explanations. Gringo, according to the book "Diccionario Castellano," by P. Esteban de Terreras y Pando, was applied in Malaga and Madrid in Spain to foreigners who have a certain type of accent, which keeps them from speaking Spanish easily and naturally. The term almost certainly derives from griego, Spanish for Greek. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of American Heritage is the property of AHMC Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
