The word "hispanic" today describes a person, characteristic, or thing that is connected in some way with the land now occupied by the countries of Spain and Portugal. When this peninsula was a Province of the Ancient Roman Empire, its name was Hispania. "Hispanic" is an English adjectival form of that word, hence its current meaning.
