| meaning 2 | tortoise, turtle | |
| reference | MEK 1978 | |
| comment | From teknős 'testacean, testaceous' from teknő 'tortoise shell' + -s (suffix added to a noun to form an adjective meaning 'having something, a quality') . This word, though common, is often denounced on the grounds that this reptile has nothing to do with béka 'frog', an amphibian; the correct term being simply teknős (coinciding with the informal, elliptic form of the above). | |
