词源

From New Latin scatophagus, from Ancient Greek σκατοφάγος (skatophágos), from σκατο- (skato-, “shit”) and φάγος (phágos, “eater; glutton”), from φᾰγεῖν (phăgeîn, “to eat”) + -ος (-os, “-er”, forming agent nouns). Equivalent to scato- + -phage. In particular reference to dungflies, an anglicization of their genus Scatophaga.
