Meaning & usage
the European water vole (Arvicola amphibius), a large vole in the family Cricetidae
Where this word comes from
From jord (“earth, soil, ground”) + rotte (“rat; rat-like rodent”), named for the animal's burrowing and largely terrestrial habits. The second element rotte is used here in the compound sense “rat-like rodent”; the animal is a vole rather than a true rat of the genus Rattus. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk jordrotte and dated Swedish jordråtta (“European water vole”).
