† pedimanen.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pédimane, Latin Pedimani.

Etymology: < French pédimane (F. Vicq-d'Azyr in Encycl. Méthodique (1792), Systême Anatomique II. Quadrupèdes p. xcv; also scientific Latin Pedimani) < classical Latin pedi- pedi- comb. form + manus hand (see manus n.¹). Compare scientific Latin Pedimana (W. Ross & J. Macartney, translating Cuvier Lect. Compar. Anat. (1802) II. xiv. v. 595), Pedimanes (1821 or earlier). Compare bimane n., quadrumane n. N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation as (pe·dimēn) /ˈpɛdɪmeɪn/.

Zoology. Obsolete. rare.

A mammal whose feet (esp. hind feet) resemble hands in having an opposable digit; spec. (a) a member of a former division of marsupials including the opossums and similar agile quadrupedal forms; (b) a lemur.The pédimanes of Vicq-d'Azyr (1792) comprised both marsupials and non-human primates, but later authors who used this or similar terms did so in a more restricted way; Cuvier applied it to opossums and certain other marsupials in his Tableau Élémentaire de l'hist. nat. des animaux (1798). Cf. quadrumane n.
