A tropical American bird of the genus Pachyramphus, related to the flycatchers.
Of uncertain origin, possibly from a Native American language or a combination of 'be-' plus an old word 'card' (meaning a small bird). This is primarily an ornithological term.
The becard's scientific name 'Pachyramphus' means 'thick-beaked,' and these small songbirds are architectural geniuses—they build elaborate hanging nest pouches woven from plant fibers.
