A turkey, especially in French cuisine and culture; also spelled dinde for female or dindonneaux for young turkeys.
From French 'dindon,' possibly from 'Inde' (India) or related to the bird's onomatopoetic call. The French word for turkey entered some English dialects.
The French called turkeys 'dindons' because they thought the birds came from India—a geographical confusion that stuck so well French speakers still use it, while English speakers forgot the word entirely.
