/ˈkrɪptəˌbræŋk/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item., and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: crypto- comb. form, -branch comb. form.

Etymology: < crypto- comb. form + -branch comb. form. Compare earlier cryptobranchiate adj. In senses A. and B. 1 after scientific Latin Cryptobranchus, genus name (S. Leuckart 1821, in Isis von Oken 1821 259). In sense B. 2 after French cryptobranche ( Lamarck Philos. zoologique (1809) I. 314).

Zoology.

A. n.

A urodele amphibian with concealed or covered gills; spec. a giant salamander of the genus Cryptobranchus or the family Cryptobranchidae, such as the hellbender. Now rare.
