pauxin.

Brit.

/ˈpɔːksi/,

/ˈpaʊksi/, U.S.

/ˈpɔksi/,

/ˈpɑksi/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Latin. Perhaps a borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: Latin pauxi; Spanish pauxí, paují.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < post-classical Latin pauxi (see below) or American Spanish †pauxí (1605 in an Ecuadorian source), paují (1629 in a Central American source from Guatemala or Honduras), perhaps ultimately < either Quechua or a Mayan language. Compare also (in a Cariban language) Chaima paoxi bird, which may however be < American Spanish. It has also been suggested that the name is a local derivative of Spanish pavo turkey. Compare scientific Latin Pauxi (or Pauxis : see note below). Compare also powis n.The word was recorded a1587 by Francisco Hernandez, apparently as a local Mexican (Nahuatl) name; no evidence of Nahuatl origin has however been found. Compare the following earlier examples of post-classical Latin pauxi, perhaps representing the ablative corresponding to a nominative pauxis (the works of F. Hernandez (1517–87) were chiefly published posthumously):1635 J. Eusebius Nierembergius Hist. Nat. X. lxxv. 233 De pauxi. Pauxi gallinaceum aequat aut superat... Ad aulam Philippicam allatam pauxin sic describit Franciscus Hernandus.1649 F. Hernandez Rerum Medicarum Thes. ii. ccxxii. 56 (heading) De Pauxi vocata ave. Valid publication as a genus name: C. J. Temminck in Hist. Nat. Gén. des Pigeons et Gallinacés (1813) II. 456, after earlier valid publication as specific name (in the genus Crax) by Linnaeus in Systema Naturae (ed. 12, 1766) 270. The genus name was spelt Pauxis by some 19th-cent. writers. American Spanish paují is now used, usually with distinguishing word, for various species of curassow.

Any of several curassows. Now chiefly (in form Pauxi): a genus comprising the (northern) helmeted curassow, Pauxi pauxi, of Venezuela and Colombia, and the related P. unicornis.
