aușel

/a.uˈʃel/

Where it comes from

Probably from auș (“old man”) + diminutive suffix -el. Other ideas suggest Vulgar Latin aucellus (“small bird”) (compare Italian uccello, French oiseau), from Latin avis, but this is harder to explain due to phonetic difficulties as well as the reason why a general term for bird would apply to a specific species.

noun aușei · aușel · aușelul · aușeii

masculine kinglet (Regulus regulus, syn. Regulus cristatus)
masculine penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus)
Similar: boicuș
