In the case of the Portuguese region, later reinterpreted as being the "extreme" (that is, westernmost region) of mainland Portugal and Europe. It's thus possible then that the ⟨s⟩ could be intrusive or otherwise unetymological (perhaps under the influence of Estrímnio), but, in the abscence of a clear etymology, the same could be said for the alternative ⟨x⟩. === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -uɾɐ Hyphenation: Es‧tre‧ma‧du‧ra === Proper noun === Estremadura f a traditional region in western-central mainland Portugal Synonym: Estremadura Portuguesa (rare) alternative form of Extremadura (“an autonomous community in western Spain”) Synonym: Estremadura Leonesa (rare) ==== Usage notes ==== Estremadura (with an ⟨s⟩) is favored when referring to the Portuguese region, in contrast with Extremadura (with an ⟨x⟩) which is favored when speaking of the Spanish region.
