the woodlouse

British, archaic, regional

Examples

“Comparing the terms lok-dore and loc-chester, it is evident that the first portion of the word is an independent element, lok; and this is still further confirmed by another synonyme^([sic]) for the wood-louse recorded by Halliwell with no indication of time or locality, viz. lug-dor.”

“In former times it was known as “Lugdor” and “Socchetre ;” and in common with the hoglouse it is familiar to rustics as “Churchlouse,” “Carpenter,” “Chinch,” or “Cheslip.””
