orthoptern.¹

Brit.

/ɔːˈθɒptə/, U.S.

/ɔrˈθɑptər/

Forms: 1800s orthoptere, 1800s– orthopter.

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

Etymology: < French orthoptère (first used in this sense by G. Ponton d'Amécourt 1862: see S. Stubelius Balloon, Flying-Machine, Helicopter (1960) 90): see orthopter n.² So called because of the ‘straight’ (vertical) motion of the wings.

Aeronautics. Now historical.

A machine designed to fly by means of artificial flapping wings; an ornithopter.Apparently first interpreted in English as referring to a clockwork flying model. The word was superseded c1909 by ornithopter, and for a time attempts were made (chiefly in dictionaries and glossaries) to differentiate the meanings of the two words on etymological grounds. (See S. Stubelius Balloon, Flying-Machine, Helicopter (1960) 93–7.)

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

Etymology: < ortho- comb. form + -pter comb. form, after French orthoptère (G. A. Olivier in Encycl. méthodique (Histoire naturelle) (1789) IV. 11, and passim). Compare earlier Orthoptera n., orthopteran n., and slightly earlier orthopteron n.

Entomology. rare.

An insect of the order Orthoptera; an orthopteran.
