Talk:digitigradus

Etymology

 * — from + ; whence 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬
 * The earliest I can find this in Latin is 1818. The English dictionaries I have trace digitigrade back to a French construction from Latin roots, but not from a complete Latin word.  It is quite possible that the word was coined in French, possibly by one of the Cuvier brothers, and then passed into Latin.  --EncycloPetey 04:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
