Definition of manjak in English:

manjak

(also manjack)
noun ˈmandʒak
Geology
  • A lustrous black variety of asphaltite which occurs on Barbados and Trinidad and was formerly used as a fuel and in the manufacture of lacquers.

Origin

Mid 17th century; earliest use found in Richard Ligon (c1585–1662), business agent and natural science writer. Origin uncertain. Perhaps ultimately from Arawak. The first element has probably been influenced by mount and man; the form with mun- in quots. 1683, 1699 is less readily accounted for, and may therefore be closer to the original.
