Etymology?

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Any indication of the etymology? It seems to have been invented in the early 19th century. --Macrakis (talk) 17:04, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Macrakis: As far as I can tell, the meaning is 'empty wilderness', also with the connotation of a landscape being "unused" or "unproductive" from the point of view of settlers. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 03:23, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
