Pronunciado como (IPA)

[ˈaː.frɪ.ka]

Ellipsis of terra āfrica f (“African land”), where it is the feminine of the adjective āfricus, from Āfrī (“a tribal people of the area near Carthage”) + -icus (suffix forming adjectives). The Latin term formed alongside Ancient Greek Ἀφρική (Aphrikḗ), both terms being attested since the first century.
