barboter
French
Etymology
From earlier barbetter (“to dig about”), from Middle French borbeter (“to shake in the mud”), of uncertain origin:.
- Possibly from barbe (“beard”) + -oter
- From bourbouter (“wading (in mud)”), from bourbe (“mud, mire”)
- From an onomatopoeic root influenced by Latin ballus, from Ancient Greek βαλλίζω (ballízō, “to jump about”); this is also found in the second element of the genus Zygoballus
- Less likely, related to the fish barbote
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /baʁ.bɔ.te/
