mangabeyn.

Brit.

/ˈmaŋɡəbeɪ/, U.S.

/ˈmæŋɡəˌbeɪ/,

/ˈmæŋɡəˌbi/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mangabey.

Etymology: < French mangabey ( Buffon Hist. nat. XIV. (1766) 244) < Malagasy Mangabe, the name of a town in eastern Madagascar (because Buffon believed mistakenly that the mangabey was native to Madagascar; he notes that he offers this as a provisional name since he is unaware of the animal's local name).

Any of several long-tailed monkeys of the genus Cercocebus, found chiefly in forests of western and central Africa.
