Quoted from: http://peromniasaecula.blogspot.com/2008/03/wmam-et-al.html

"Isidore [of Seville, a medieval bestiarian] has this to say on the badger:

The badger (melo, ie meles) is so named either because it has a very rounded member (cf. malum, "round fruit"). . ."

Now I wonder about our gnome friend here . . .

The question mark is in the way of verification! Thankfully.

But "bestiarian" is an awesome word that I will have to find a space for in a book or story somewhere.
