People from Argentina; alternatively, an older term for anything made with or containing silver or a silvery substance.
From Spanish 'Argentina' (the country, named from Latin 'argentum' meaning silver) + '-es' (Spanish plural). As an adjective, can also refer to silvery things from older English usage.
The word beautifully captures how geography, language, and chemistry intertwine—Argentina's name proves that one Spanish conquistador's hope for silver wealth can echo through centuries in a nation's identity.
