Forms: 1900s– dromaeosaurid, 1900s– dromeosaurid.

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

Etymology: < scientific Latin Dromaeosauridae, family name (E. H. Colbert & D. A. Russell 1969, in Amer. Mus. NovitatesNo. 2380. 43) < Dromaeosaurus , genus name (see dromaeosaur n.) + -idae (see -id suffix³). Compare slightly later dromaeosaur n.

Palaeontology.

A. n.

A dinosaur of the theropod family Dromaeosauridae, of the Cretaceous period, which comprised bipedal predators with forelimbs capable of grasping and a distinctive large recurved claw on the second toe.

1990 P. J. Currie et al. in K. Carpenter & P. J. Currie Dinosaur Systematics (1992) viii. 110 The most common small theropod is the velociraptorine dromaeosaurid Saurornitholestes langstoni.

2000 Systematic Biol. 49 469/2 Some debate exists about the sister clade of birds: dromaeosaurids.., troodontids..and a dromaeosaurid–troodontid clade..have all been suggested.

B. adj.

Of or designating a dromaeosaurid.

1997 New Scientist 1 Feb. 28/3 Two fossil finds, reported last year, tipped the balance further in favour of the dinosaur-bird link. The first..is an unnamed 90-million-year-old dromeosaurid dinosaur from Patagonia.

2000 Systematic Biol. 49 469/2 Neither dromaeosaurid nor troodontid novelties must have arisen by the time birds diverged.
