Etymology
Romanian borrowed "mexican" from French "mexicain", which in turn came from Spanish "mexicano". The root ultimately traces to Nahuatl "Mēxihco", the name the Aztecs used for their capital and, by extension, their people and land. The exact meaning of the Nahuatl root is debated among scholars, so no PIE root applies here since the word is not of Indo-European origin.
