葡萄牙

Chinese

		grape; to be jealous; to envy	tooth; ivory
simp. and trad. (葡萄牙)		葡萄	牙

Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of Portuguese Portugal or Latin Portugallia, possibly via Min Nan 葡萄牙 (Phû-tô-gâ).

The selection of 葡萄 (“grape”) in the phonetic transcription alludes to the importance of viniculture to the early Portuguese missionaries to China, who used grapes to make sacramental wine (葡萄酒).

Compare 西班牙 (Xībānyá, “Spain”).
