inlandish
Where it comes from
In some senses, from inland + -ish ("resembling or pertaining to an inland region"); in other senses, apparently from Middle English inlendisc (“native, indigenous”), from Old English inlendisċ; seemingly always to serve as an antonym to outlandish (“foreign, extravagant”).
adjective
- Relating to or produced in the land itself, domestic, home, native. Thou art all for inlandish meat, and outlandish sawces […]
- Characteristic of one who is native or native-born; inexperienced, naïve, simplistic, unrefined. A rap is literally inlandish (the product of barbarians born within the gates), a scatological scat-singing, the agonistic display of an uncomplicatedly emoting mammal.
- Of or pertaining to the interior of a country; of an inland nature or character. Seaside greens need not become more and more “inlandish” in character.
