New American Oxford Dictionary
Eskimo
Es ki mo |ˈeskəˌmō ˈɛskəˌmoʊ | ▶noun ( pl. same or Eskimos ) 1 often (esp. in Canada & Greenland ) offensive a member of an indigenous people inhabiting northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and eastern Siberia, traditionally living by hunting (esp. of seals ) and by fishing. 2 either of the two main languages of this people (Inuit and Yupik ), forming a major division of the Eskimo-Aleut family. ▶adjective of or relating to the Eskimos or their languages. ORIGIN via French Esquimaux, possibly from Spanish esquimao, esquimal, from Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe, ’ probably applied first to the Micmac and later to the Eskimo (see husky 2 ). usage: 1 In recent years, Eskimo has come to be regarded as offensive because of one of its possible etymologies (Abnaki askimo ‘eater of raw meat ’), but this descriptive name is accurate since Eskimos traditionally derived their vitamins from eating raw meat. This dictionary gives another possible etymology above, but the etymological problem is still unresolved. 2 The peoples inhabiting the regions from northwestern Canada to western Greenland call themselves Inuit (see usage at Inuit ), but in the US, Eskimo is the only term that can be properly applied to all of the peoples as a whole, and it is still widely used in anthropological and archaeological contexts. The broader term Native American is sometimes used to refer to Eskimo and Aleut peoples. See usage at Native American .

Eskimo
Es ¦kimo |ˈɛskɪməʊ | ▶noun ( pl. same or Eskimos ) 1 a member of an indigenous people inhabiting northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and eastern Siberia, and traditionally living by hunting seals and other Arctic animals and birds and by fishing. 2 [ mass noun ] either of the two main languages of the Eskimo people (Inuit and Yupik ), comprising a major division of the Eskimo-Aleut family. ▶adjective relating to the Eskimos or their languages. ORIGIN via French Esquimaux, possibly from Spanish esquimao, esquimal, from Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe ’, probably applied first to the Micmac and later to the Eskimo (see husky 2 ). usage: In recent years the word Eskimo has come to be regarded as offensive (partly through the associations of the now discredited etymology ‘one who eats raw flesh ’). The peoples inhabiting the regions from the central Canadian Arctic to western Greenland prefer to call themselves Inuit: see usage at Inuit. The term Eskimo, however, continues to be the only term which can be properly understood as applying to the people as a whole and is still widely used in anthropological and archaeological contexts.
