DEF

Hispanique : [Chacun des] citoyens des États-Unis originaires des pays latino-américains et des Antilles.

DEF

Hispano-Américain(e) : [Personne] qui a rapport à l'Amérique et à l'Espagne; qui a rapport à l'Amérique de langue espagnole.

OBS

Hispano : Abréviation familière de «Hispanique» ou «Hispano-Américain(e)», utilisée comme nom et comme adjectif.

OBS

Au pluriel : Des Hispaniques; des Hispano-Américains, des Hispano-Américaines.

OBS

«Hispanique» (adjectif et nom) signifie d'abord «qui a trait à l'Espagne» pour devenir plus spécifiquement le «citoyen des États-Unis originaire d'un pays latino-américain ou des Antilles». «Hispano-Américain» lie d'abord l'Espagne et l'Amérique, avant de signifier davantage l'Amérique de langue espagnole. Dans l'usage, on accorde à «Hispanique» le sens d'«Américain originaire d'un pays latino-américain», et à «Hispano-Américain», le sens d'«Américain de langue espagnole». Mais, la distinction demeurant très ténue entre ces deux termes, aussi retrouve-t-on, au dictionnaire, les deux notions sous une même entrée.
