autour

From au + tour, replacing Old French entor (compare alentour).

On ne sera jamais seul autour de nous ; on est une meute solide, on est une bande de loups.

You'll never be alone around us; we're a solid pack, we're a pack of wolves.

Entre 1 et 2 ans, l’enfant […] comprend de mieux en mieux le langage, il est de plus en plus à même de comprendre ce qui se passe autour de lui […]

1995, Jean-Pierre Dumont et al., Psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, volume 1, pages 52–3:

Between 1 and 2 years, the child […] understands language better and better, he's more and more able to understand what's happening around him […]


hibou

Eventually imitative. Possibly from or influenced by a descendant of Proto-West Germanic *hūō and/or Proto-Germanic *uwwilǭ. Compare Old High German hūwo, ūvo, (h)ūwila and, as a borrowing into Romance, Catalan òbila, òliba. If so, related to English owl. Compare also Latin būbo.

chouette

→ Romansch: tschuetta

Cognate with Old English *fealca, fealcen (“falcon”). More at falcon.

crécerelle

From Middle French cresserelle, crecerelle (“bird of prey”), usually assumed to be from crecelle (“rattle, wooden reel”) (modern crécelle), of obscure origin.
Cognates possibly include: Medieval Latin clisterella f, English kestrel, Neapolitan castariello m and crestariello m, all sharing the same meaning.
Derivation from the assumed *Vulgar Latin crepicella, *crepitacillum, a diminutive of crepitāculum, from crepitāre (“to crackle”) is difficult to explain from a morphological point of view. Instead, possibly from a root *krek-, *krak- (“to crack, rattle, creak, emit a bird cry”), possibly from or related to Middle Dutch crāken (“to creak, crack”), from Old Dutch *krakōn (“to crack, creak, emit a cry”), from Proto-Germanic *krakōną (“to emit a cry, shout”), from Proto-Indo-European *gerg- (“to shout”).
