anacondan.

/ænəˈkɒndə/

Forms: Also anacondo.

Etymology: Occurs in Ray, in a List of Indian Serpents from the Leyden Museum, as ‘anacandaia of the Ceylonese, i.e. he that crushes the limbs of buffaloes and yoke beasts,’ but not now a local name in Sri Lanka, and not satisfactorily explained either in Sinhalese or Tamil. (Compare however Tamil āṇaik′k′onḍa ‘having killed an elephant,’ Col. Yule.)

A name (a) originally applied (by English writers) to a ‘very large and terrible snake’ of Sri Lanka (? Python reticulatus, or P. molurus Gray); but (b) made by Daudin (? through erroneous identification, or mistake as to the source of a specimen) the specific name of a large South American Boa ( Boa murina Linn., B. aquatica Neuwied., B. anacondo Daud., Eunectes murinus Wagler, Gray), called in Brazil sucuriù, or sucuriuba, to which it is now attached in the British Museum Catalogue, and London Zoological Gardens. (c) loosely applied to any large snake which crushes its prey.
