murciélago
  45

Night flying mammal of the order of the operating machines. Their most striking feature is that they are almost blind, but possess a natural sonar system to fly in the dark. The name is a metatetic diminutive of the word murciego, taken from the Latin voices murem ( "mouse" ) caecus ( "blind") . Formerly in Spanish it was called 'murciégalo', by murmur ( "murcielaguito") using the diminutive suffix -culum, also from Latin. It should be clarified that this word is not inherited, since in ancient Rome the bat was called vespertilio, onis.
