"musaraigne" meaning in French

See musaraigne in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /my.za.ʁɛɲ/ Audio: Fr-Paris--musaraigne.ogg [Paris], LL-Q150 (fra)-DSwissK-musaraigne.wav Forms: musaraignes [plural]
Etymology: From Middle French mesiraigne (16th c.), merisengne (15th c.), from Latin mūsarāneus, from Latin mūs (“mouse”) + arāneus (“spider-like”). So called because the bite of many shrews (e.g. Neomys fodiens) is venomous. According to the Trésor informatisé, the word is a borrowing from Latin, but the Middle French forms look by no means learned and could well be inherited. The modern -u- may be a Latinate alteration, however.
