Latin

Etymology

From ērīcius +‎ -ōnem.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /eriˈd͡zoːne/

Noun

*ērīciōnem m (plural *ērīciōnēs) (Proto-Western-Romance)

  1. hedgehog

Reconstruction notes

Relatively late formation, considering that it lacks the otherwise-expected weakening and loss of /i/ in this position. Apparently originated in the north, where it eliminated the reflexes of ērīcius, and propagated southwards.
