/ˌdaɪnəˈsɔrəs/

Forms: 1800s–1900s deinosaurus, 1800s– dinosaurus. Also with capital initial.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: dinosaur n.; Latin Dinosaurus.

Etymology: Partly an alteration of dinosaur n., after similar names in -saurus (see -saurus comb. form), and partly < scientific Latin †Dinosaurus, former (rare) genus name (1847 for a therapsid reptile later identified with Brithopus; 1856 for a dinosaur later renamed Gresslyosaurus) < dino- (in scientific Latin Dinosauria : see dinosaurian adj.) + scientific Latin -saurus -saurus comb. form.

Now rare.

A dinosaur; = dinosaur n. 1. In early use also spec.: †an extinct reptile of the former genus Dinosaurus (obsolete).
