Meaning & usage
kingfisher (any of various birds of the suborder Alcedines)
Where this word comes from
From Middle High German īsvogel, from Old High German īsfogal; compare Dutch ijsvogel, Icelandic ísfugl. By surface analysis, Eis + Vogel. The former stem, however, is considered to be a variant of Eisen (Old High German īsarn), most likely referring to the green-blue upperparts with pale azure-blue back and rump of the adult bird. But compare parallel Czech ledňáček, Russian леди́нник (ledínnik) akin to Russian лёд (ljod). Also compare parallel Polish zimorodek, Russian зиморо́док (zimoródok), analyzable as akin to зима́ (zimá).
