agamin.

Brit.

/ˈaɡəmi/, U.S.

/ˈæɡəmi/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French agami.

Etymology: In sense 1 < French agami (1731; 1664 as †agamy ) < Carib akami . Compare Spanish agamí (1788 or earlier). Compare also Portuguese agami (1837 or earlier), although this may also reflect an independent borrowing < the Tupi etymon of yakamik n. In sense 2 < French agami ( Buffon Hist. nat. des oiseaux (1783) VII. 382, the passage translated in quot. 1793; in full héron agami ), probably < scientific Latin agami , specific name (J. F. Gmelin in Linnaeus Systema naturæ (ed. 13, 1788) I. 629 ), of uncertain origin, perhaps a transferred use of sense 1. For Buffon's tentative explanation of the semantic transfer (or perhaps confusion) of the names of the two birds, see quot. 1793 at sense 2.

1. The grey-winged trumpeter, Psophia crepitans, a bird native to rainforests in northern South America. Now rare.

1747 tr. C.-M. de La Condamine Succinct Abridgm. Voy. S.-Amer. 87 The bird called Trompetero by the Spaniards..is the same with the Agami..the noise it occasionally makes..has earned it the title of trumpeter.

1833 Penny Cycl. I. 194 One of these Agamis, a young bird, found its way into a farm-yard in Surrey, and associated with the poultry.

1858 Jrnl. Royal Geogr. Soc. 28 341 They domesticate several native birds, among which I observed the agami (Psophia crepitans) and the pauxi (Crax alector), which associate with the poultry.

1901 F. T. Addyman tr. A. M. Villon Pract. Treat. Leather Industry i. i. 25 A few years ago the skin of the agami (gold-breasted trumpeter) was tried for tanning.

2006 R. King Sound of Butterflies viii. 231 It resembled a crane. ‘Trumpeter bird,’ said Ernie. ‘They call it an agami. Bloody thing won't leave me alone.’

2. In full agami heron. A long-billed heron, Agamia agami, native to swampy forests in Central and South America, having a dark green back and wings and a chestnut belly. Also called chestnut-bellied heron.
