語源
First attested as 古期英語 Uuenrisc, from Old Welsh gwynn (“white”) + reisko (“fen”).
More recent senses derive from the ship HMT Empire Windrush, named after the River Windrush. The arrival of 802 immigrants to the UK from the West Indies onboard the Empire Windrush in 1948 is seen as symbolic of the beginning of mass immigration from the Caribbean to the UK.
The Windrush line was named for its running through several parts of London with large British Caribbean population.
