Brit. /ˈhɪpjᵿrʌɪt/, U.S. /ˈhɪpjəˌraɪt/
Forms: 1700s– hippurite, 1800s hippurites.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Hippurites.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin and scientific Latin Hippurites fossil bivalve mollusc (1740 or earlier; 1801 as genus name: Lamarck Système des animaux sans vertèbres 104) < classical Latin hippūris mare's tail (see hippurid n.) + -itēs -ite suffix1. So called on account of the resemblance of the form of the mollusc to that of a horsetail. In sense A. 2 after German Hippurit (1769 or earlier in this sense).With sense A. 1 compare German Hippurit (1747 or earlier in this sense). Compare the following earlier attestation of post-classical Latin hippurites in an English context, denoting a fossilized plant which has the image of an equisetum on it:1681 N. Grew Musæum Regalis Societatis 268 Hippurites. Or a Stone with the impressed Image or signature of the Equisetum or horsetail.
