hajduk
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: hajduks
Etymology: Borrowed from Hungarian hajdúk, plural of hajdú (“foot-soldier”). The Hungarian word may derive from hajtó which meant “(cattle) drover”. In 16th century Hungary, cattle driving was an important and dangerous occupation and drovers traveled armed. Some of them ended up as bandits or retainers in the service of local landowners and many may have become soldiers. In any case, the term hajduk came to be used in the 16th century to describe irregular soldiers. There is probably an etymological link between hajdú and the Turkish word haydut which was used by the Ottomans to describe Hungarian infantry soldiers and has the sense 'outlaw, robber' in modern Turkish usage, though it is not clear whether the word travelled from Hungarian to Turkish or vice versa.

ref: 1838, The Magazine of natural history and journal of zoology, botany, mineralogy, geology and meteorology, volume 2, page 420:
text: Both the Cuckoos and the Moth-hunters pertain to that extensive order of birds which, in an arrangement of the class which I had lately the honour of submitting to the Zoological Society, I designated Strepitores, (or Screechers); an order characterized by numerous physiological agreements, but which embraces many forms externally dissimilar—that is to say, in those adaptive characters which have reference to a special mode of life. It is only in this group, among what have been termed perching birds, that the vocal organ is simple, or furnished with only a single pair of muscles; in consequence of which its various members are unable to inflect the voice
ref: 1839, Edward Blyth, “A Natural History of the Cuckoo”, in The Analyst: A Quarterly Journal of Science, Literature, Natural History, and the Fine Arts, volume 9, page 53:
text: We here, at length, arrive at a sufficiently marked interruption of the series of the class of Birds, to be enabled to introduce some remarks on the affinities of the preceding orders, which we conceive might be arranged most naturally as follow. / I. Scansohes, as limited to the Parrots. / II. Raptores, or the Birds of Prev; which subdivide into two thoroughly distinct sections. / III. Strepitores, Screechers, consisting of all the remainder that are not organized upon the definite type of the Passerine;. It is necessary to subdivide them first into three series, which might be designated Syndactyli, Zygodactyli, and Heterodactyli; the two first of which names, however, do not rigidly apply in every instance, the groups being founded rather upon the aggregate of the organization, than upon any single character.
