Meaning & usage
albatross
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from English albatross which is probably from Spanish or Portuguese alcatraz (“pelican”), probably derived from Arabic الْغَطَّاس (al-ḡaṭṭās, “the diver”); or from Portuguese alcatruz (“water wheel bucket”), from Arabic الْقَادُوس (al-qādūs), from Ancient Greek κάδος (kádos, “pail, jar”), in reference to the pouch of a pelican. In either case, altered under the influence of Latin albus (“white”). First attested in the 19th century.
