Where it comes from

Learned borrowing from Latin regiō. Doublet of region.

noun regiones

  1. Any large area of a planet or moon that is strongly differentiated from neighbouring areas by colour or albedo.
  2. Ancient Rome A district of a city. The British School has unearthed a city of continuous houses, more than 400 feet long by 350 broad, whose many blocks or "insul[ae]" might seem almost to need the more elaborate grouping of the "regiones" of Pompeii.
