island Dalam Bahasa Indonesia

Island

Definisi: An “island” is a piece of land that is completely surrounded by water. It can vary in size from small landforms, known as islets, to large land masses that can host entire nations.

Penggunaan: The term can be used both in literal and metaphorical contexts. For example:

• Literal: “Hawaii is an island chain in the Pacific Ocean.”
• Metaphorical: “He felt like an island, isolated from his friends.”

Etimologi: The word “island” comes from the Old English ‘īegland’, which is a compound of ‘īeg’ meaning “island” or “island dweller” and ’land’. The ’s’ was mistakenly added in the Middle Ages, likely due to association with the Latin word ‘insula’.
