kinkajoun.

Brit.

/ˈkɪŋkədʒuː/, U.S.

/ˈkɪŋkəˌdʒu/

Forms: 1700s kincajou, 1700s quinquajore, 1700s–1900s quincajou, 1700s– kinkajou.

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

Etymology: < French kinkajou, †quincajou, denoting an unidentified carnivore (N. Denys 1672) < an Algonquian word for the wolverine (compare Ojibwa gwiingwa'aage , cognate with Southern East Cree kuikuhaacheu quickhatch n. and Western Montagnais kwa:hkwa:če:w : see carcajou n.).Buffon initially cited the French words carcajou carcajou n. and kinkajou as interchangeable, both apparently denoting a carnivore ( Hist. Nat. XII. (1764) 106), but later introduced a distinction between carcajou ‘wolverine’ and kinkajou ‘honey-bear’ ( Hist. Nat. (Suppl.) III. (1776) 224), which was generally accepted and led to the sense transfer (compare quots. 1781 and 1799 at sense 2). Early spellings with qu- (in both French and English) were originally intended to reflect the initial /kw/ of the Algonquian etymon. Forms with k- reflect a spelling pronunciation, originally in French, where initial qu is usually pronounced as /k/. Buffon used (and probably introduced) this type, and as a result kinkajou is the only form used for sense 2. The dance name. The dance (see sense 3) was apparently introduced in 1927, based on a dance routine accompanying the song The Kinkajou in the Broadway musical Rio Rita (in which The Kinkajou is an alias used by one of the characters).

†1. A carnivorous, catlike quadruped described as having reddish-brown fur and a long tail, and said to hunt by either chasing prey (typically elk or moose) or dropping onto it from an overhanging branch. Obsolete.This animal has usually been identified as either a wolverine or cougar.

1796 J. Morse Amer. Universal Geogr. (new ed.) I. 198 Kincajou. This animal is frequently confounded with the Carcajou, though he resembles him in nothing but the name. He belongs to the family of cats; at least he very much resembles them.

1881 Phrenol. Mag. Sept. 372 Look at the weasel and the quincajou;..you will find that the more brain hereabout, the more destructive will the animal be found.
