Usage notes

• Definition 1 is the common meaning.
• Definition 2 is more modern and imported from English. It is more commonly used in Spain than in the Americas.
• Definition 3 is very rarely used, the term indiano being more common.
• It is primarily in the United States where americano is currently used in reference to the United States. Otherwise, in Spanish americano is always used in reference to the Americas. For the United States (country) in particular, the more precise term is estadounidense.
• The usage of the term norteamericano in reference to the United States is not strictly speaking, correct, as this term technically refers to North America (which includes Canada, United States, Mexico, and many other nations); however, it is very commonly used in reference to the U.S.

English

Etymology

1904, borrowed from Italian cappuccino, from Viennese German Kapuziner (“Capuchin”), due to the similarity of the color of the beverage to the monastic habit of dark brown; compare Franziskaner (“Franciscan”), a contemporary coffee drink with more milk and hence a lighter color, more similar to the latter monks’ habits of light brown. The German term Kapuziner is in turn a loan translation from Italian cappuccino (“Capuchin”) (thus the Italian word for the coffee beverage is a reborrowing), from Italian cappuccio (“hood, cowl”) + -ino (“(diminutive)”), due to the hood of the Capuchin monks’ habits, from Italian cappa (“hood, cowl”) + -uccio (“(diminutive)”) (note two diminutive suffixes), in turn from Late Latin cappa (English cape).

Doublet of Capuchin, also from Italian cappuccino (via Middle French capuchin).
