构词拆解
词源说明
From outer + Manchuria. The 21st century sense referring to territories ceded by China to Russia in the 19th century was created with the creation of a Wikipedia article in May 2004 for Outer Manchuria; it may be an instance of citogenesis. The same article is the source of Inner Manchuria referring to Manchuria (all northeast China).
