Obs. rare^—1.

Producing ducks or geese; i.e. producing barnacles, formerly supposed to grow on trees, and dropping off into the water below, to turn to ‘Tree-geese’ (Pennant II. 238), whence also the trivial name of the Barnacle Lepas anatifera. (Blount erron. refers the word to Latin anās, defining it ‘that brings the disease or age of old women.’)
