来自波斯语Hindu,河流名,后用于指整个印度。后该词也用来指美洲的土著印第安人,来自16世纪哥伦布初到美洲大陆时误以为到了印度大陆,因此便称当地土著人为印度人,更准确的说法为American Indian.
An Indian gift is a proverbial expression, signifying a present for which an equivalent return is expected. [Thomas Hutchinson, "History of Massachusetts Bay," 1765]Meaning "one who gives a gift and then asks for it back" first attested 1892.
