A frog, toad, or other member of the amphibian order that includes all true frogs; alternatively, an adjective describing frog-like characteristics.
From Greek 'batrachos' (frog) plus the suffix '-ian' (relating to or member of). This term has been used since the 1600s to describe frogs and their relatives.
The word 'batrachian' survived in English even though scientists now call the group 'Anura,' which is why you still see it in old literature and it hints at how many scientific names are just fancy Greek and Latin words for 'frog-like animal.'
