/ˈpərdəˌsaɪn/,

/ˈpərdəˌsin/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Perdix , -ine suffix¹.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Perdix, genus name (see perdix n.; after classical Latin perdīc-, oblique stem of perdīx) + -ine suffix¹. In specific sense after scientific Latin Perdicinae, subfamily name (C. L. Bonaparte Synopsis Vertebratorum Systematis (1837)), or Perdicini, tribe name. Compare post-classical Latin perdicinus of partridge (14th cent. in a British source). N.E.D. (1905) gives only the pronunciation (pə̄·ɹdisəin) /ˈpɜːdɪsaɪn/.

Ornithology. rare.

Of, relating to, or resembling a partridge; spec. relating to or designating game birds of the subfamily Perdicinae (of the family Phasianidae) or the tribe Perdicini (of the subfamily Phasianinae).The taxon Perdicinae or Perdicini has varied from one that comprises only partridges of the genus Perdix and their immediate allies to one that includes all the partridge-like birds and quails of the Old World.

1890 Cent. Dict. Perdicine, relating to or resembling a partridge or a quail; of or pertaining to the Perdicinæ, in any sense.

1945 Ecol. Monogr. 15 24/1 Figures 14–15, dealing with perdicine birds of Des Moines, Iowa.., show more evidence of a synchronously depressed phase.

1995 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92 11053/2 This is not the case with diverse generalized perdicine birds (quails and partridges) of the same subfamily [sc. Phasianinae].
