addaxn.

Brit.

/ˈadaks/, U.S.

/ˈæˌdæks/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, addaxes.

Forms: 1600s–1800s addace, 1600s– addax.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin addac-, addax.

Etymology: < classical Latin addac-, addax African antelope with twisted horns (Pliny; Addax was later adopted in scientific Latin as a genus name (Laurillard 1841, after Rafinesque 1815)), apparently < an African language. Compare Middle French addacé (1562 in an apparently isolated attestation in the passage translated in quot. 1601), French †addace (mid 18th cent., rare).A Semitic origin has also been suggested, with either biblical Hebrew dīšōn pygarg (Deuteronomy 14:5, in an apparently isolated attestation) or the unrelated Akkadian daššu gazelle (cognate with Hebrew tayiš he-goat, further etymology unknown) having been suggested either as etymons or as being otherwise related, but a connection with either word is unlikely on phonological grounds.

A large, stocky, mainly whitish antelope, Addax nasomaculata, related to the oryx, having long spiral horns, and occurring in desert areas of North Africa (where it is now endangered).
