14世纪晚期,“爬行或爬行的动物; 用小短腿在地上爬行的动物”,源自早期的法语 reptile(14世纪初)和直接源自拉丁语 reptile,是 reptilis(形容词)的名词用法,意为“爬行,爬行”,源自 repere 的过去分词词干 rept-,意为“爬行,爬行”。这被重建为来自 PIE 词根 *rep- “爬行,爬行”(源也包括立陶宛语 rėplioti “爬行”)。
从1749年开始,用于描述卑鄙、卑贱或卑微的人。作为形容词,大约在1600年,“爬行或爬行的”,因此,用于人,“低贱,卑鄙”(1650年代)。有时也用于18世纪的爬行植物。
名词的精确科学意义开始于18世纪中期,但这个词最初也用于现在被称为 amphibians 的动物,包括蟾蜍、青蛙、蝾螈。Reptilia(1835年作为一个独立的类)和 Amphibia 的分离发生在19世纪初; 流行使用滞后,而 reptile 仍然在18世纪晚期被用来表示“爬行在许多脚上的动物”[约翰逊,他称蝎子为爬行动物],有时排除蛇。古英语中“爬行动物”的词是 slincend,与 slink 有关。
