Arkansas
Definition
A state in the south-central United States, bordered by Missouri to the north, Tennessee and Mississippi to the east, Louisiana to the south, Texas and Oklahoma to the west, known for the Ozark Mountains, the Arkansas River, and Hot Springs National Park.
The name derives from the French pronunciation of the Illinois word for the Quapaw people, roughly meaning 'people of the south wind' or 'downstream people'.
