The word is said to be a corruption of Ossifrage, the "bone-breaker." As it feeds on fish, it has no big bones to break.
OSSIFRAGE, os'i-fr[=a]j, _n._ the sea or bald eagle, common in the United States: (_B._) the bearded vulture, the largest of European birds.
Thus when the Septuagint makes use of this word, _Tremellius_ and our Translation hath rendred it the Ossifrage, which is one kind of Eagle.
The ossifrage, however, a kindred species, takes charge of the young ones thus rejected, and rears them with its own; but the parent bird still pursues them with hostility, even when grown up, and drives them away, as being its rivals in rapine.
