† opinicus Her. A term of uncertain origin and meaning, given in modern heraldic works. The word appears to be corrupt; the suggestion has been made that it is an error perh. for Ophinicus or Ophiuchus.
1780Edmondson Heraldry II. Gloss., Opinicus, a fictitious beast, of heraldic invention. Its body and fore legs are said to be those of a lion, the head and neck like those of the eagle; to the body are affixed wings, like those attributed to the griffin; and it hath a short tail, resembling that of a camel... The Opinicus is the crest to the arms belonging to the Company of the Barber Surgeons of the City of London. 1863Boutell Eng. Heraldry x. (ed. 5) 141 Opinicus a fabulous heraldic monster, a dragon before, and a lion behind with a camel's tail. |
