Frisk Etymological English

-οῦς
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: woodpecker, Picus maior and minor (Arist. vv.ll. πίπος, πίπρα etc., Lyc.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Formation like ἀηδώ, τυτώ a.o. (Chantraine Form. 115 f.); prob. onomatopoetic like πιππίζω (s. v.), Skt. píppakā f. name of a bird, though such a designation exactly for the woodpecker does not seem very evident. A similar birdname, πίππος or πῖπος is by Ath. 9, 368 f. supposed for trad. ἵππους. -- Cf. πίφιγξ. -- The name may well be Pre-Greek.

Frisk Etymology German

πιπώ: -οῦς
{pīpṓ}
Grammar: f.
Meaning: Specht, Picus maior und minor (Arist. vv.ll. πίπος, πίπρα usw., Lyk. u.a.).
Etymology: Bildung wie ἀηδώ, τυτώ u.a. (Chantraine Form. 115 f.); wohl onomatopoetisch wie πιππίζω (s. d.), aind. píppakā f. N. eines Vogels usw., obwohl eine solche Benennung gerade für den Specht wenig einzuleuchten scheint. Ein ähnlicher Vogelname, πίππος od. πῖπος wird Ath. 9, 368 f. für überl. ἵππους vermutet. — Vgl. πίφιγξ.

Woodpecker

Woodpeckers are part of the family Picidae, that also includes the piculets, wrynecks, and sapsuckers. Members of this family are found worldwide, except for Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Madagascar, and the extreme polar regions. Most species live in forests or woodland habitats, although a few species are known that live in treeless areas, such as rocky hillsides and deserts, and the Gila woodpecker specialises in exploiting cacti.
