Odontocetin.

Brit.

/ɒˌdɒntəˈsiːti/,

/əʊˌdɒntəˈsiːti/, U.S.

/oʊˌdɑn(t)əˈsidi/

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

Etymology: < scientific Latin Odontoceti, suborder name (W. H. Flower 1869, in Trans. Zool. Soc. 6 110), alteration of earlier Odontocete (see odontocete n. and adj. and quot. 1864).

Zoology.

The suborder of cetaceans comprising the dolphins, killer whales, sperm whales, and other toothed whales; (with plural agreement) whales of this suborder collectively.

1864 W. H. Flower in Proc. Zool. Soc. 388 I perfectly concur with those naturalists who divide the Cetacea into two primary sections, which merit..the rank of suborders. The Balænoidea or Mysticete, or Whalebone Whales, and the Delphinoidea or Odontocete.]

1869 W. H. Flower in Trans. Zool. Soc. 6 110 Increased knowledge of their structure, especially of the Odontoceti, has rendered some slight modifications of these characters necessary.

1890 Amer. Naturalist 24 600 Thus the Physeteridæ among Odontoceti feed principally on squids, whose soft bodies are swallowed whole.

1976 Syst. Zool. 25 319 The ancestor of the modern Odontoceti probably resembled one of the narrow-snouted primitive odontocetes discussed above.

1993 New Scientist 20 Mar. 17/1 The Archaeocetes were probably ancestors of the modern cetacean groups—the toothed whales and dolphins, or Odontoceti, and the filter-feeding baleen whales, or Mysticeti.
