| weever | <zoology> Any one of several species of edible marine fishes belonging to the genus Trachinus, of the family Trachinidae. They have a broad spinose head, with the eyes looking upward. The long dorsal fin is supported by numerous strong, sharp spines which cause painful wounds. The two British species are the great, or greater, weever (Trachinus draco), which becomes a foot long (called also gowdie, sea cat, stingbull, and weaverfish), and the lesser weever (T. Vipera), about half as large (called also otter pike, and stingfish). Origin: Probably from F. Vive, OF. Vivre, a kind of fish, L. Vipera viper. Cf. Viper. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| weevil | <zoology> Any one of numerous species of snout beetles, or Rhynchophora, in which the head is elongated and usually curved downward. Many of the species are very injurious to cultivated plants. The larvae of some of the species live in nuts, fruit, and grain by eating out the interior, as the plum weevil, or curculio, the nut weevils, and the grain weevil (see under Plum, Nut, and Grain). The larvae of other species bore under the bark and into the pith of trees and various other plants, as the pine weevils (see under Pine). See also Pea weevil, Rice weevil, Seed weevil. Origin: OE. Wivel, wevil, AS. Wifel, wibil; akin to OD. Wevel, OHG. Wibil, wibel, G. Wiebel, wibel, and probably to Lith. Vabalas beetle, and E. Weave. See Weave. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
