释义

rusan.

Brit. /ˈruːsə/, U.S. /ˈrusə/
Forms: 1700s rooso, 1900s– roussa (rare), 1800s– rusa.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Malay. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Malay rusa; Latin Rusa.
Etymology: Partly (originally) < Malay rusa deer, and partly (in later use) < scientific Latin Rusa, subgenus name (C. H. Smith: see quot. 1827; < Malay).
Any of a group of large Asian deer of the genus or subgenus Rusa, having large antlers characterized by a brow tine but no median tine; esp. the sambar, R. unicolor, of South Asia, Sumatra, and Borneo, and (now spec.) the Timor deer, R. timorensis, found from Java to Timor and Sulawesi. Also rusa deer.Originally adopted as a subgenus of Cervus, the name Rusa has recently been raised to the status of a full genus. Several of these deer have been introduced to Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
