Etymology

From Maori kiwi.

Noun

kiwi (plural kiwis)

  1. A flightless FITML of the genus Apteryx native to New Zealand.
  2. A person from New Zealand - (preferably Kiwi).
  3. A New Zealand dollar.

Usage notes

  • Spelling of the word Kiwi, when used to describe the people, is capitalised, and takes the plural form 'Kiwis'. The bird's name is spelt with a lower-case k and, being a word of Maori origin, stays as 'kiwi' when pluralised. Thus, 'two Kiwis' refers to two people, whereas 'two kiwi' refers to two birds
