Hausa

Etymology

Often stated to be borrowed from English book, but Paul Newman disputes this, stating that "boko is an indigenous Hausa word originally connoting sham, fraud, deceit, or lack of authenticity. When the British colonial government imposed secular schools in northern Nigeria at the beginning of the 20th century, boko was applied in a pejorative sense to this new system. By semantic extension, boko came to acquire its current meaning of Hausa written in Roman script and Western education in general."

Noun

1. fraud, deceit, trick
2. a mock or imitation version of something real
3. Western education
