Answer

DUTCH

This word refers to anything pertaining to the Netherlands, its people, or their language. The term comes from the Old High German word 'diutisc,' meaning 'of the people.' Interestingly, phrases like 'going Dutch' mean splitting the bill, while 'Dutch courage' refers to bravery from alcohol.

Strategy Tip

Words that describe nationalities or origins can be tricky because they are proper adjectives. When you are stuck, consider whether the puzzle might be using a word typically capitalized in regular writing but acceptable in Wordle.
