It comes from “la Malinche”, the name of the Indian woman who served as interpreter to the conquistador Hernán Cortés, and who bore him two children. Like other indigenous people of the time, she may well have seen the Spaniards as allies in a fight against Aztec oppression of her own people, but she is remembered in Mexico today as the archetypal cultural quisling.* * *m Méxtreason* * *♦ malinchista adj
