Origin: A borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Etymon: French penduline.

Etymology: < French penduline, noun (1778 in Buffon Hist. naturelle des oiseaux V. 434)), either from classical Latin pendulus (see pendulous adj.) + -ine -ine suffix¹, or < French pendule pendule n. + -ine -ine suffix¹. In sense A. 1 perhaps after scientific Latin pendulinus, specific name (in Motacilla pendulinus) (Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 189). Perhaps compare Italian pendolina (1598 in an apparently isolated attestation in Florio as the name of an unspecified bird).

A. adj.

1. Designating birds that build hanging nests; spec. in penduline tit n. (also penduline titmouse) any of several titmice of the family Remizidae, esp. the Eurasian Remiz pendulinus which has a grey head with black mask around the eyes, a chestnut back and wings, and buff underparts.
