Brit.

/ˈfɒsə/, U.S.

/ˈfɔsə/,

/ˈfɑsə/

Forms: 1700s– fossa, 1800s– fosa, 1800s– foussa.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French fossa.

Etymology: < French †fossa, denoting either the fossa or the fossane (a1661 in the text by Flacourt referred to in quot. 1792) < Malagasy fosa fossa. Compare earlier fossane n. and discussion at that entry. O.E.D. Suppl. (1972) enters this word under the double headword fossa, foussa and gives the pronunciation as (fǫ·să, fū·să) /ˈfɒsə/, /ˈfuːsə/.

A long-tailed cat-like mammal, Cryptoprocta ferox (family Viverridae), which is a nocturnal and arboreal predator endemic to Madagascar, where it is the largest carnivore. In early quots. perhaps (by confusion) denoting the smaller fossane, Fossa fossana.The fossa and other Madagascan carnivores are now sometimes placed in a separate family, Eupleridae.

1792 J. S. Barr tr. Comte de Buffon Nat. Hist. VI. 171 We doubt whether the Fossa of Madagascar, mentioned by Flacourt, is an actual badger.

1838 W. Ellis Hist. Madagascar I. ii. 47 An animal of the badger kind, found chiefly, if not exclusively, in the Sakalava country; it is called fosa.

1883 Encycl. Brit. XV. 435/2 The only known species, C. ferox, the ‘Foussa’ of the Malagasy, is peculiar to Madagascar.

1916 Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 17 413 The Fossa (Cryptoprocta) has probably received more anatomical attention than any single genus of Carnivora.

1936 Sci. Monthly Feb. 126/1 In Madagascar the family has many representatives, varying from small genet-like forms to the cat-like foussa.

1964 E. P. Walker et al. Mammals of World II. 1262/1 Fossas walk in a flat-footed manner on the soles of their feet.

1996 Atlantic Jan. 48/2 You could..try your luck at finding some of the rain forest's more rarely seen mammals, such as the golden bamboo lemur and the fossa.
