Teutons
Ancient northern Europeans
Teutons refers to ancient Germanic peoples, particularly those who clashed with Roman forces in the late second century BCE.
In broader historical use, the term encompasses Germanic tribes generally.
By extension, Teuton became a somewhat literary or formal term for Germans or people of German ancestry: The Teutons have a reputation for efficiency.
The adjective Teutonic describes Germanic characteristics, cultures, or languages, sometimes with connotations of rigid discipline or militarism.
