Forms: 1900s– ceratopid, 1900s– ceratopsid.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Ceratopsidae.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Ceratopsidae, family name (O. C. Marsh 1888, in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 136 477) < Ceratops , genus name (O. C. Marsh 1888, in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 136 478; < ancient Greek κερατ- , κέρας horn (see kerato- comb. form) + ὤψ face: see -ops comb. form) + -idae (see -id suffix³).In form ceratopid , after scientific Latin Ceratopidae (20th cent.), reformed < Ceratop- , inferred stem of Ceratops (compare phacopid adj.).

A. n.

A ceratopsian dinosaur of the family Ceratopsidae (which includes Triceratops), characterized by elaborate horns and frills on the skull.

1902 Science 24 Oct. 671/1 The new genus Stegoceras, proposed in this memoir, may represent a type with small nasal horns, as in some of the Laramie Ceratopsids, such as Sterrholopus.

1955 Amer. Mus. Novitates No. 1729. 21 His higher ceratopsids had an extremely weak ‘temporalis’.

1988 Guinness Bk. Records 1989 43/2 The skulls of the long-frilled ceratopsids were the largest of all known land animals.

1995 D. B. Norman Illustr. Encycl. Dinosaurs 129/2 (caption) Bagaceratops, Protoceratops and Montanoceratops show a clear trend towards the characteristics of the larger quadrupedal ceratopids.

B. adj.

Of, relating to, or characteristic of the family Ceratopsidae.
