Brit.

/ˈɔːmə/, U.S.

/ˈɔrmər/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French ormer, ormeau.

Etymology: < French regional (Jersey and Guernsey) ormer, variant of French ormeau (1563 in plural as hourmeaux ), either shortened < oreille de mer (although this is first attested later: 1611 in Cotgrave), or < an unattested post-classical Latin *auris maris sea-ear ( < auris shell (5th cent.), specific use of classical Latin auris ear (see auricle n.) + maris , genitive singular of mare sea: see mare n.⁴), with allusion to the shell's resemblance to an ear.

An abalone or sea-ear of the genus Haliotis, of warm northern and Mediterranean coastal waters; esp. H. tuberculata, found in the Channel Islands where it is prized as a delicacy.
