Borrowed from Medieval Latin sēcrētārius (“secretary”), from Latin sēcrētus, perfect passive participle of sēcernō (“I separate; I part; I reject”).

secretário m (plural s, feminine secretária, feminine plural secretárias)

Probably so named because its crest of long feathers resembles quill pens stuck behind the ears of an office clerk; alternatively, possibly from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Arabic صَقْر اَلطَّائِر (ṣaqr aṭ-ṭāʔir, “hunter bird”), from صَقْر (ṣaqr, “falcon, hawk”) طَائِر (ṭāʔir, “bird”); see secretary bird.
