Etymology: < classical Latin lacerta (see lacert n.¹) + -id suffix³. In astronomical senses after Lacerta n. In zoological senses after scientific Latin Lacerta, genus name (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lacertidae, family name (1828 or earlier). Compare French lacertide (1839 or earlier).

A. adj.

1. Astronomy. With capital initial. Of or relating to a minor annual shower of meteors which appear to radiate from the constellation Lacerta in August and September; designating such a meteor or meteor shower.

2007 M. Kidger Cosmol. Enigmas 199 (note) The term ‘Lacertids’ [in sense 1b] has now disappeared from the astronomical lexicon.., although it can be confused with Lacertid meteors.

2. Zoology. Of or relating to lizards of the family Lacertidae, which comprises the typical smaller lizards such as are common in Europe; designating a lizard of this family.
