Usage notes
- Usually capitalized in Australian contexts, Aborigine. Today considered offensive; more appropriate terms would be "Aboriginal person" or "indigenous Australian".
- Fowler's 3rd edition considers this singular to be "etymologically indefensible" notwithstanding its having become the established form in Australia since 1829. This is in reference to its inflection from 'Aborigines', not actually originally an S-addition pluralization (see Aborigine/Aborigines/Aboriginal entries in Oxford Dictionary).
