Etymology[edit]
Compound of 烏帽子 (eboshi, “an ancient style of hat worn by Japanese nobility”) + 鳥 (tori, “bird”), from the way that the bird's head plumage resembles the shape of the eboshi hat. The tori changes to dori as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
烏帽子鳥 or 烏帽子鳥 • (eboshidori)

Usage notes[edit]
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as エボシドリ.
