ruda

Translingual

Etymology

First employed for Pellicia ruda Mabille & Boullet 1916 (since synonymised with Nisoniades macarius), this epithet appears to be a mistakenly-formed feminine equivalent of the Latin rūdus n (“lump [esp. of copper or bronze], roof tile, débris, rubble”, noun), which was employed appositively in the forepublished Unio rudus Lea 1859 (since synonymised with Diplodon delodontus), but which had the appearance of a second-declension masculine adjective. A corresponding neuter form, *rudum appears not yet to have been employed.
