pratincolen.

Brit.

/ˈpratɪŋkəʊl/, U.S.

/ˈprætnˌkoʊl/,

/ˈprædɪŋˌkoʊl/

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

Etymology: < scientific Latin Pratincola, former genus name ( G. H. Kramer Elenchus vegetabilium et animalium per Austriam inferiorem observatorum (1756) 382) < classical Latin prātum a meadow (see pratal adj.) + incola inhabitant (see incolary n.). Compare scientific Latin Hirundo pratincola, adopted by Linnaeus ( Systema Naturæ (ed. 12, 1766) 345) as the taxonomic name of the collared pratincole.

Any of several long-winged, fork-tailed, plover-like birds of the Old World genus Glareola (family Glareolidae), closely related to the coursers, which resemble swallows when in flight and are found near rivers and marshes. Also (in full Australian pratincole): the related Stiltia isabella, a similar but more long-legged bird of semi-desert and open grassland in Australia and Indonesia.
