| Summary: | As a result of the analysis of lexical and lexicographical history of the wordcamiseta, this paper shows that camiseta is an Americanism –a word that originatedin the Spanish speaking Americas– documented from the sixteenthcentury until the second half of the nineteenth century only in the Spanishspeaking Americas with the meaning ‘shirt or dress of the Indians’. ThisAmerican lexical creation has gone unnoticed by scholars of Spanish inthe Americas probably because of the semantic change and the vitality andextension that it acquires in modern usage, especially during the twentiethcentury. Finally, a modification of its definition in the current academicdiccionary is proposed. |
