Etymology
(late nineteenth century) Attested circa 1850,en 1850 J. R. Logan The Ethnology of the Indian Archipelago: embracing enquiries into the Continental relations of the Indo-Pacific Islanders J. R. Logan The Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia Singapore 4 254, 2nd footnote https://hdl.handle.net/2027/coo.31924079416289?urlappend=%3Bseq=285 For reasons which will be obvious on reading a subsequent note, I prefer the purely geographical term Indonesia, which is merely a shorter synonym for the Indian Islands or the Indian Archipelago. We thus get Indonesian for Indian Archipelagian or Archipelagic, and Indonesians for Indian Archipelagians or Indian Islanders. I have no affection for the multiplication of semi-grecian words, and would gladly see all the nesias wiped off the map if good Saxon equivalents could be substituted. composed of en grc:Ἰνδός Indian grc:νῆσος island; initially, in competition with Insulinde, of the same meaning, lexically constructed on a Latin basis, or in reference to the East Indies archipelago.
