Noun [French]

IPA: /sy.ʁi.kat/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-Lyokoï-suricate.wav [France, Lyon], LL-Q150 (fra)-Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick-suricate.wav [France] (note: Somain) Forms: suricates [plural], surikate [alternative, obsolete]
Etymology: Coined by French natural historian Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1765 as surikate, probably from a blend of Surinam (“Suriname”) + Dutch kat (“cat”) (influenced by Afrikaans meerkat) due to the author’s misconception that this animal originated from Suriname. Other sources point to a loan from a southern African language, but this is comparably unlikely.
