Webster 1913 entry that I can't substantiate from Google Books:
Etymology
[edit]Latin bracatus wearing breeches, from bracae breeches.
Adjective
[edit]braccate (comparative more braccate, superlative most braccate)
- (zoology) Furnished with feathers which conceal the feet.
- OK, I found two uses and a massive pile of mentions. It's real, just not very citable. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Dictionaries claim it's an ornithological term. I could only find a few uses and those I did find were botanical. Nloveladyallen (talk) 15:39, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
