1. 1捷克

    In this use, Czech names a country in the middle of Europe, between Germany, Poland, , and Austria. The capital is Prague, and about ten million people live there. Until 1993 it was joined with as one country, . It joined the European Union in 2004. Though actually, English speakers do not all use one name. Many people still say the Czech Republic, the long official name. In 2016 the country asked the world to use Czechia as the short name, the way we say France rather than “the French Republic”. You will hear all three. Just Czech as a place-name is a little casual, but it is how some books list the country. The same spelling also names the people and the language — a Czech person, Czech as a language — so if you see Czech on a language list, that is not a different word, only a different job for the same spelling.

組成English took the word as it was from Polish Czech, from Old Polish Czech, from Old Czech Čech, ultimately a shortened form of Proto-Slavic *čelověkъ (“human”). The name of the people, then, goes back to a word for “person”.
