Of or relating to Argentina or its people; Argentine (less common spelling than Argentine).
From Spanish 'argentino,' derived from Latin 'argentum' (silver), because Argentina was named for the precious metal. The Spanish colonists hoped to find vast silver deposits there.
Argentina's name literally means 'the Silver Country'—the conquistadors were so obsessed with finding precious metals that they named an entire nation after silver, even though it never became a major silver producer!
Spanish/Portuguese demonym defaulting to masculine singular form. Gendered language encodes male-as-default in Romance languages; 'argentino' grammatically represents masculine singular while 'argentina' is feminine.
In English contexts, prefer 'Argentine person' or 'Argentines' (plural). In Spanish, use both forms or use 'argentino/a' or 'argentine' to signal inclusion.
