Boigid

/ˈboɪɡɪd/ noun

Definition

A South American tree frog or a member of a frog family found in South America.

Etymology

From Spanish or Portuguese regional terminology for South American frogs, likely derived from indigenous Amazonian languages or local Spanish naming conventions.

Kelly Says

Most South American frog names we use in English come directly from indigenous language words, which means when a species goes extinct, we lose both the animal and the ancient vocabulary for it.
