Etymology:
Meaning:
Oriole is a medium-sized passerine bird known for its bright yellow, orange, or black plumage.
Origin:
The term "oriole" has its roots in the Latin language. The word "aureolus," which means "golden," was originally used to describe the distinctive gold or orange plumage of many oriole species. The Latin term was then modified in Old French to become "oriol," and eventually made its way into English.
Over time, the meaning of "oriole" has expanded to include a wider range of bird species that share certain characteristics, such as bright colors, melodious songs, and a preference for fruit and insects.
