Etymology: < classical Latin locusta locust n. In sense 2 after post-classical Latin locusta spikelet of a grass (1686 or earlier).

a. Originally: = locust n. 1. In later use: spec. any of the large, grasshopper-like orthopteran insects constituting the genus Locusta; spec. the migratory locust, L. migratorius. Also (in form Locusta): the genus itself.
