Forms: 1900s ornithoptere (rare), 1900s– ornithopter.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: ornitho- comb. form, -pter comb. form.

Etymology: < ornitho- comb. form + -pter comb. form, after French ornithoptère (first used in this sense by P. Renard 1908, in L'aérophile 15 Jan. 35). Compare earlier orthopter n.¹The French word was intended to replace orthoptère orthopter n.¹ because of the latter's etymological inappropriateness and its homonymy with the entomological term orthopter n.² In fact, ornithoptère is itself attested earlier (1892) denoting a South-East Asian butterfly.

Aeronautics.

A machine designed to fly by means of artificial flapping wings. Cf. earlier orthopter n.¹
