words wholly related
caribbean & cannibal
both words derive from carib, the name of an amerindian tribe from the west indies. caribbean means “relating to the carib” and now refers to the sea and islands that the tribe inhabited. cannibal comes from the way columbus misheard their name (ie. canib) and became associated with anthropophagi after he witnessed (what he thought was) several tribe members slathering eachother’s legs with bbq sauce and getting ready to chow down.
