IPA: /ka.priˈmul.ɡus/ [Classical], [käprɪˈmʊɫ̪ɡʊs̠] [Classical], /ka.priˈmul.ɡus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [käpriˈmulɡus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From capra (“goat”) + mulgeō (“I milk”). The sense "nightjar" is first attested in Pliny the Elder's Naturalis historia and represents a partial calque of Ancient Greek αἰγοθήλας (aigothḗlas), following Aristotle's claim in Historia animalium that certain nocturnal birds - often identified as nightjars - suck milk from the udders of goats.
