Etymology
[edit]From rāna (“frog”) + -unculus (diminutive suffix). An irregularly formed diminutive in several ways: the ending -unculus was rarely used as a suffix, more often appearing when the diminutive suffix -culus is added to a stem ending in /n/, and the gender of a Latin diminutive usually is the same as that of the base word, but in this case changes from feminine to masculine. See also rānula, another diminutive from rāna.
Compare typologically Ancient Greek βατράχιον (batrákhion) (diminutive of βάτραχος (bátrakhos)).
Pronunciation
