Etymology

Latin ōtium n (“leisure; free time”) +‎ Ancient Greek ῥῠ́γχος n (rhŭ́nkhos, “nose”). Despite the root word ῥῠ́γχος (rhŭ́nkhos) being a neuter noun, it resembles Latin -us, and so has taken the masculine grammatical gender.

Proper noun

Otiorhynchus m

1. A taxonomic genus within the family Curculionidae – certain weevils.
