papilion.

Brit.

/pəˈpɪlɪəʊ/, U.S.

/pəˈpɪlioʊ/

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

Etymology: < classical Latin pāpiliō butterfly, moth, of uncertain origin.Classical Latin pāpiliō is perhaps expressive of the fluttering sound made by a butterfly or moth; compare similar expressive formations in Germanic languages, as Old English fīfalde, Old Saxon fīfoldara, Middle Dutch viveltere, Old High German fīfaltra (Middle High German vīvalter, German †Feifalter), Old Icelandic fífrildi, Swedish regional feffel, all in sense ‘butterfly’.

Originally: a butterfly or large moth. Later: spec. any of various swallowtail butterflies belonging to the large genus Papilio.Valid publication as a genus name: Linnaeus in Systema Naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 458, after earlier use by him in Systema Naturæ (1735), originally applied to all butterflies.
