n.

a member of a dark-skinned group of peoples originally native to Africa south of the Sahara.

Usage

Since the 1960s, when the term black was favoured as the term to express racial pride, Negro (together with related words such as Negress) has dropped out of favour. It is now regarded as old-fashioned or even offensive in both British and US English.

Etymology

via Sp. and Port. from L. niger, nigr- ‘black’.
