geckon.

Brit.

/ˈɡɛkəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈɡɛkoʊ/

Forms: 1700s ( chacco, jackoa), gekko, 1800s geco, gecko; plural geckos, geckoes.

Etymology: < Malay gēkoq (the q is faint) an imitation of the animal's cry. The note uttered by this lizard is imitated in other Malay names, as gaguh , gōke , tōke , etc. and similar forms occur in the Indian languages, to which the earliest examples in English are due. The statement made in quot. 1792, that the name is current in Egypt, is due to the translator and is apparently a blunder.

A house-lizard, found in the warmer regions of both hemispheres, remarkable for its peculiar cry, and for its power of climbing walls.
