Forms: 1800s–1900s anouran, 1800s– anuran.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Or (ii) a borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Anoura , -an suffix; French Anoures , -an suffix.

Etymology: < (i) scientific Latin Anoura, order name (J. E. Gray 1825 in Ann. Philos. 10 213; later generally adopted in the form Anura (J. Hogg 1839, in Mag. Nat. Hist. 3 270)), or its etymon (ii) French Anoures, family name ( A. M. C. Duméril Zool. analyt. (1806) 93; < an- an- prefix² + ancient Greek οὐρά tail: see uro- comb. form²) + -an suffix. Compare earlier anourous adj.Duméril's name Anoures was earlier Latinized as Anuri ( G. Fischer von Waldheim Zoognosia (1813) I. 58) and Anuria ( C. S. Rafinesque Analyse de nat. (1815) 78).

1871 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 161 202 Such power of variation..suggests the probability that some of the very earliest of the Amphibia..did not stop at the last metamorphic stage of an Anuran, but changed still further.

2013 Western Mail (Nexis) 9 Nov. 23 The Welsh populations [of African clawed toad] mostly predate freshwater crustaceans, though fears exist that this large anuran may also feed on the tadpoles of native species.

B. adj.

Of or relating to the order Anura. Cf. anourous adj.
