- 1(美國)大型露營車、休旅拖車品牌名,已變成大型露營車的通稱
A Winnebago is a large motorhome — a vehicle you drive that has a bed, a kitchen and a toilet inside, so you can travel and live in it. Winnebago is really a brand name, an American company that has made these since the 1960s, but Americans use the word for any big motorhome the way people here say 普拿疼 for any . Because of that, you see it written with a capital W (the brand) and sometimes with a small w (the general thing), and both turn up. What the word carries with it is a picture: an American family driving across the country on holiday, stopping at — that is the feeling, and the word usually sounds slightly comic or nostalgic, partly because the vehicles are so big and boxy. British English rarely uses it; a British person says 'campervan' or 'motorhome'. Note also that Winnebago is the name of a Native American people and of places in the US, so in a history or geography text it will not mean a vehicle at all. Careful with 'caravan': in British English a caravan is towed behind a car and has no engine, while a Winnebago drives itself.
組成From the name of the Winnebago people, a Native American nation. The name comes from Ojibwe wiinibiigoo 'Winnebago person', from wiinibiig 'murky water' — wiini' 'to make dirty' plus nibi 'water'. The company took the name from Winnebago County in Iowa, where it was founded.
