Etymology: < Old French linette, linot, linotte (modern French linotte ), < lin flax, on the seeds of which the bird feeds. Old English had a línetwíge , whence lintwhite n., and there is one example of línece , < lín line n.¹, flax.

1. A common and well-known songbird, Carduelis cannabina (formerly Linota (or Linaria) cannabina), of the family Fringillidae. Its plumage is brown or warm grey; but in summer the breast and crown of the cock (when wild, not when caged) become crimson or rose-colour. Allied species are the Mountain-Linnet or Twite, C. flavirostris (formerly Linota flavirostris or L. montium), and the Lesser Redpoll, C. flammea (formerly L. rufescens).
