Where it comes from
From Dutch Utrecht, from Middle Dutch and Old Dutch variants of ūt (“out, outside”) + Latin Trāiectum ad Rhēnum (“Crossing-on-the-Rhine”), the Roman fort at the location, from trāicere (“to cross, to send across”), from trāns- (“trans-: through, across”) + iacere (“to throw”).
proper noun Utright
- A city and municipality, the capital of Utrecht province, Netherlands. The Treaty of Utrecht (11 April 1713) recognized Anne as the rightful queen of England and yielded St Kitts and much of Canada to the English.
- A province of the Netherlands. E.g. muug 'tired' in the Utrecht dialect (Ponelis 1990: 36). Utrechtian, which does not delete intervocalic [χ/ɣ], belongs to the group of Hollandic dialects, which is the Dutch dialect group most closely related to Afrikaans.
