Nov 12, 2019 at 3:28 | comment | added | ermanen | I knew the term agouti as the name of an animal only. I've found out that the name of the fur type/coloration comes from the name of the animal. OED definition: "A brindled appearance of the fur in other mammals, resembling that of agoutis and resulting from the individual hairs having banded pigmentation; (also) an animal, esp. one of a domestic breed, with such fur. Frequently attributive or as adj." | |

(Alas, the Wikipedia article has been ~~deleted~~merged into this inscrutable mess, which probably contributes to my inability to find it again. Argh! Now that I'm on a different computer, it's even in my history!) | |
