Patmiot

English

Etymology

From Patmos +‎ -iot.

Noun

Patmiot (plural Patmiots)

One of the inhabitants of the Greek island of Patmos.
- Architectural Digest v.57, p.274, Condé Nast (2000):
  “One of the reasons I bought the house was that it had more cisterns than any other building in town. I dug another two for good measure.” As every Patmiot knows, the island's main problem is its shortage of water. On Patmos, cisterns represent real wealth.
