Otiorhynchus
Translingual
editEtymology
editLatin ōtium n (“leisure; free time”) + Ancient Greek ῥῠ́γχος n (rhúnkhos, “nose”). Despite the root word ῥῠ́γχος (rhúnkhos) being a neuter noun, it resembles Latin -us, and so has taken the masculine grammatical gender.
Proper noun
editOtiorhynchus m
- A taxonomic genus within the family Curculionidae – certain weevils.
