Natican.

Brit.

/ˈnatɪkə/, U.S.

/ˈnædɪkə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Natica.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Natica (M. Adanson Hist. nat. du Sénégal (1757) 172), probably < post-classical Latin natica buttock (4th cent.; < classical Latin natis (see nates n.) + -ica -ic suffix), perhaps with allusion to the smooth, rounded shell typical of members of the genus. Compare French natice (1757 in Adanson).

Zoology.

A genus of carnivorous marine gastropods (family Naticidae) which burrow into the shells of bivalves. Also (in form natica): a gastropod of this genus; any gastropod of the family Naticidae with a calcareous operculum, a moon snail; (now rare).Valid publication of the genus name: G. A. Scopoli Introductio Hist. Nat. (1777) 392.
