gentoo, n.2
(dʒɛnˈtuː)
[perh. a use of prec.]
A kind of penguin (Pygoscelis papua or tæniata) frequenting the Falkland Islands. Also gentoo penguin.
| 1860 Abbot in Ibis Oct. 337 This bird [Eudyptes papua] is called in the Falklands the Gentoo Penguin: whence the name I leave others to conjecture... They [Rock-hoppers] are also, like the Gentoos, continually going to and returning from the salt water. |
