white rhinoceros n. a very large, two-horned rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum, now mainly of southern Africa, having a wide, square upper lip.Not really distinguishable by means of colour from the black rhinoceros. [The semantic motivation is unclear; it has frequently been suggested that the name resulted from a misapprehension or folk-etymological alteration (by association with white adj.) of a supposed South African Dutch name with the first element wijd wide adj., with reference to the wide, square upper lip of the animal, but evidence for an application of Dutch wijd to this species of rhinoceros is lacking, and Afrikaans witrenoster, the formal parallel of the English compound, is itself after English. See further L. C. Rookmaaker ‘Why the name of the white rhinoceros is not appropriate’, in Pachyderm (2003) 34 88–93, and J. D. Skinner & C. T. Chimimba Mammals of Southern African Sub-Region (2005) 527.]
