sittinen.adj.

Brit.

/ˈsɪtʌɪn/, U.S.

/ˈsɪdaɪn/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French sittine.

Etymology: < French sittine, noun (1819 or earlier) < scientific Latin Sitta , genus name ( Linnaeus Systema naturae (ed. 10, 1758) I. 115; < post-classical Latin sitta (13th cent. in a translation of Aristotle) < ancient Greek σίττη nuthatch, probably of imitative origin) + French -ine -ine suffix¹.Compare scientific Latin Sittinae , family or subfamily name (1832 or earlier). The French name was apparently introduced to distinguish the true nuthatches from the larger group of birds called sittelle (see sittella n.).

Ornithology.

†A. n.

A member of a group of arboreal passerine birds which comprises the true nuthatches (genus Sitta). Obsolete.
