Etymology
editFrom Indija (“India”) + eiropietis (“European”) (indo- is a nationality prefix corresponding to India), following the pattern of other similar formations in other European languages (cf. German Indoeuropäer, Russian индоевропе́ец (indojevropéjec), all tracing back to Sir Thomas Young's original English 1813 coinage Indo-European).
