Definitions and meaning of ossifrage

ossifrage

Etymology

From Middle French ossifrage, from Latin ossifraga (“osprey”), ossifragus (“osprey”), from ossifragus (“bone breaking”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈɒsɪfɹɪd͡ʒ/

Noun

ossifrage (plural ossifrages)

  1. (archaic) Gypaetus barbatus, the diet of which is almost exclusively bone marrow.
    • 1880, [uncredited English translator], The Man who Laughs by Victor Hugo, Book the Third, Chapter I:
      Calcareous lies, slate, and trap are still to be found there, rising from layers of conglomerate, like teeth from a gum; but the pickaxe has broken up and leveled those bristling, rugged peaks which were once the fearful perches of the ossifrage.
  2. (obsolete) The young of the sea eagle or bald eagle.
  3. (British) The osprey.
    • 1871 Robert Browning,Balustrion's Adventure: A Transcript from Euripides, line 117–24:
      And we were just about
      To turn and face the foe, as some tire bird
      Barbarians pelt at, drive with shouts away
      From shelter in what rocks, however rude,
      She makes for, to escape the kindled eye,
      Split beak, crook'd claw o' the creature, cormorant
      Or ossifrage, that, hardly baffled, hangs
      Afloat i' the foam, to take her if she turn.
