Uitgespreek as (IPA)

/ˈɡɾinɡo/

Possibly from griego (“Greek”), particularly from the phrase hablar en griego (“to speak Greek”), with a similar connotation to the English phrase it's all Greek to me. Possibly influenced by peregrino (“pilgrim”). Or else due to the ubiquity of the song Green Grow the Lilacs among the men who settled the interior of the American continent.
