chinchillan.

Brit.

/tʃɪnˈtʃɪlə/, U.S.

/tʃɪnˈtʃɪlə/

Forms: Also 1600s chinchille and with capital initial.

Etymology: Spanish; apparently diminutive of chinche bug (= Old French cincele, chincele); perhaps from an erroneous notion that the animal had a fetid smell, or in contradistinction from a larger beast that had.

a. A genus of small rodent animals peculiar to South America. Chinchilla lanigera, a native of Peru and Chile, supplies the fine soft greyish chinchilla fur of commerce.
