Etymology
Teuton comes from an old German root teut- that meant 'people', and Roman writers used it for a northern tribe. So Teuton refers to a member of that ancient Germanic people or to someone from a German-speaking group, and the same root is also in Deutsch 'German', which makes the meaning easier to remember.
