Aboriginal; indigenous. 2. Formed or originating in the place where found. ETYMOLOGY: From Greek autochthon (of the land itself), from auto- (self) + chthon (earth, land). Ultimately from the Indo-European root dhghem- (earth), which also sprouted human, homicide, humble, homage, chamomile, exhume, inhume, chthonic, disinter, chameleonic, and Persian zamindar (landholder). Earliest documented use: 1804. The opposite of this term is allochthonous. (Why does it look so familiar, even in this context?) Re: Oh boy, this one's a toughie!
