albatros

Etymology

From English albatross, probably from Spanish or Portuguese alcatraz (“pelican”), probably derived from Arabic الْغَطَّاس‎ (al-ḡaṭṭās, “the diver”); or from Portuguese alcatruz (“water wheel bucket”), from Arabic الْقَادُوس‎ (al-qādūs), from Ancient Greek κάδος (kádos, “pail, jar”), in reference to the pouch of a pelican. In either case, altered under the influence of the Latin word albus (“white”).
