Relating to Chile, a long, narrow country in South America, or a person from Chile.
From Chile, the country name, possibly derived from Quechua 'chilli' or Aymara origins, combined with the suffix -an to create the demonym. The exact origin of 'Chile' is debated among linguists.
Chile is the longest north-south country in the world and the narrowest east-west—it stretches over 2,670 miles but is never more than 220 miles wide! This strange shape gave Chile dramatically different climate zones, from one of Earth's driest deserts to temperate rainforests, all in one country.
