Etymology

Borrowed from Papiamentu pinda and Sranan Tongo pinda,^[1] both from Kongo mpinda;^[2] cognates include English pinder. Usage spread from the West Indies to the Netherlands from the 1910s onwards. Sense 4 is from the pejorative term pindachinees from the 1930s, which was later applied even more pejoratively to people from East Asia in general, including Indonesians who came en masse to the Netherlands in the late 1940s.
