History
Etymology
Corruption of a Mohawk word se-rach-ta-gue, sa-ra-ta-ke (“the hillside country of the quiet river”), which the early Dutch settlers interpreted as Sarachtoge. More at Saratoga.
Origin unknown. Perhaps a mispronunciation of New Latin Ceratodus (“an extinct genus of lungfish”), which is from Ancient Greek κέρας (kéras, “horn”) + ὀδούς (odoús, “tooth”).
