† herodiann.²

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin erodio , erodius , -an suffix.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin erodio (Vulgate), erodius, herodius (Vetus Latina, Vulgate) heron ( < ancient Greek ἐρωδιός (also ἐρῳδιός ) heron, of uncertain origin; perhaps cognate with classical Latin ardea heron (see Nyctiardea n.), although this poses formal problems) + -an suffix. In sense 2 after scientific Latin Herodiones, former order name (1817 or earlier, attributed to L. J. P. Vieillot).In quot. 1609 at sense 1, ultimately rendering Hebrew 'ănā̄pāh, denoting an unidentified ceremonially unclean bird (suggestions as to its identity include heron, ostrich, flamingo, cormorant, and vulture). In the following quot., erodye apparently renders post-classical Latin erodius gyrfalcon, bird of prey used to fly at herons (from c1060 in British sources; probably an extended use of erodius heron):1572 J. Bossewell Wks. Armorie f. 20^v The Creste here seene, is an Erodye Golde, Guttie, set on a Torce, Siluer & Gules. Calepine saithe, that the byrd Erodius, is the greatest fowle that flyeth, & ouercommeth and deuoureth the Eagle. N.E.D. (1898) gives the pronunciation as (hĕrō^u·diăn) /həˈrəʊdɪən/.

Obsolete. rare.

1. A bird (not identified) listed as unclean in the book of Leviticus: see note in etymology.
