Roosteren

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as rustern in 1201. Etymology unknown. Potentially derived from a hydronym. A proposed reading of the toponym as a compound of rood (“red”) and the toponym Susteren is incorrect. Formerly called Schettereind. The village received its current name relatively recently; the former bearer of the toponym became known as Oud-Roosteren. See also Limburgish Roostere. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈroːs.tə.rə(n)/ Hyphenation: Roos‧te‧ren Rhymes: -oːstərən Homophone: roosteren === Proper noun === Roosteren n a village and former municipality of Echt-Susteren, Limburg, Netherlands ==== Derived terms ==== Roosterenaar Roosterens Oud-Roosteren === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
