Brit.

/ˌəʊməʊˈmʌɪɪd/, U.S.

/ˌoʊmoʊˈmaɪɪd/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Omomyidae.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Omomyidae, family name (E.-L. Trouessart 1879, in Revue et magasin de zool. 7 225) < Omomys , genus name (J. Leidy 1869, in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 65), of uncertain origin (see note) + -idae (see -id suffix³).Leidy provides no explanation for the genus name. It is perhaps < ancient Greek ὠμος raw (see omophagia n.) + μῦς mouse (see myo- comb. form): the animal is insectivorous.

Palaeontology.

A. n.
