/kʌltrɪˈrɒstr(ə)l/, U.S.

/ˌkəltrəˈrɑstr(ə)l/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin cultrirostris , -al suffix¹.

Etymology: < scientific Latin cultrirostris (1830 as a specific name; < classical Latin cultr- , culter knife, share (see coulter n.) + rostrum beak: see rostrum n.) + -al suffix¹; compare rostral adj. Compare French cultrirostre, adjective (1802 or earlier), hence used in scientific Latin as a group name, Cultrirostres (plural).

Ornithology. Now rare.

Having a bill shaped like a knife or adapted for cutting; esp. relating to a group of birds so characterized, as (originally) herons, storks, and cranes among the wading birds, or (in later use) crows, starlings, and others among the passerines.In some former schemes herons, storks, and cranes constituted the group Cultirostres.

1835 E. Stanley Familiar Hist. Birds II. vi. 144 The three genera of this Table have been included by some naturalists amongst the cultrirostral [printed cultirostral], or cutting-beaked birds, but the general form of their beaks renders them easily distinguishable under the term latirostral, or flat-beaked.

1835 E. Stanley Familiar Hist. Birds II. Index 271 Cultrirostral, cutting-billed birds.

1866 R. Owen On Anat. Vertebr. II. 265 The young bird is excluded well clothed and able to run or swim about and provide food for itself..in all the Grallatores save the Cultrirostral group or part of it.

1890 Cent. Dict. 4031/3 Novempennatæ,..(b) a group of cultrirostral oscine passerine birds, composed of the American grackles.

1914 E. H. Eaton Birds N.Y. II. 221 The bill, however, is typically cultrirostral and shows a decided tendency to taper to a sharp point.
