Can we also talk about "Dutch"?
English-speakers used to use it to mean all non-Scandinavian Germanic peoples. When the Netherlanders became a distinctly separate group Britain had way more contact with them than with anyone else that the word used to cover, so we used it to refer to them specifically
TIL that "dutch" and "deutsch" comes from the same root!
