Brit.

/ˈpɪdək/, U.S.

/ˈpɪdək/

Forms: 1700s– piddock, 1800s piddick.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Compare earlier pirot n., of which the present word could perhaps be a variant or alteration, although the origin of pirot n. is also very uncertain. Compare -ock suffix, and perhaps compare piddle v. 1.

Any of various marine bivalve molluscs of the genus Pholas or the family Pholadidae containing it, which burrow in soft rock, wood, etc., and have a conspicuous gap between the valves and rough frontal ridges that aid in boring; esp. the common species P. dactylus, which has a long ovate shell and is used for bait.
