Andorran

/ændɔˈrɑn/ adjective

Definition

Related to or from Andorra, a small independent country in the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France.

Etymology

From Andorra (the country name) plus the English suffix '-an.' The country's name possibly derives from the Arabic 'and-' meaning 'very' combined with a local word, though this etymology is debated.

Kelly Says

Andorra is one of only two counties in the world that has two co-princes (both ceremonial rulers)—one is the Spanish Bishop of Urgell and the other is the French Count of Foix, making it a hilariously unique feudal remnant that somehow persists.
