It was a peculiarly great year for Pidgin.

Perhaps the word Pidgin doesn't come from a Chinese corruption of the word for "business", though I for one see no difficulty in believing that it does. Perhaps it comes from Pidian, a seventeenth-century word for a group of otherwise obscure South American Indians, as one linguist has plausibly claimed.
