      Ma, kuando se akodro ke el valiante Amadis no kedo satisfecho de yamarse solo “Amadis” i adjusto el nombre de su reynado i patria para darle fama, i se yamo “Amadis de Gaula”, I el kijo azer lo mizmo, komo un buen kavayero, adjustar al suyo el nombre de la suya, i yamarse “don Kishot de la Mancha”, ke asegun el, deklarava klaramente su linaje i patria, i la onorava en tomandola por alkunya.
      Nevertheless, when [someone] remembered that the valiant Amadis was left unsatisfied in merely being called ‘Amadis’, [he] added the name of his kingdom and homeland to make himself famous, and he called himself ‘Amadis of Gaula’, and he kept repeating himself, like a good knight, adding to his name the name of his homeland, and calling himself ‘don Koshot de la Mancha’, as according to him, it was clearly declaring his lineage and homeland, and he was esteeming it in treating it like family.

Etymology

Substantive noun from an ellipsis of the collocative term terra patria ("paternal/hereditary land"), itself from terra (land, country) and patrius (fatherly, paternal, hereditary, ancestral). Compare origin of Greek βασιλική (basilikḗ, basilica), from Byzantine Greek term βασιλική στοά (basilikḗ stoá, royal building). Cognates include Ancient Greek πατριά (patriá, generation, ancestry, descent, tribe, family) and πατρίς (patrís, place of one's ancestors).
