Peacock \Pea"cock`\ (p[=e]"k[o^]k`), n. [OE. pecok. Pea- in this
word is from AS. pe['a], p[=a]wa, peacock, fr. L. pavo, prob.
of Oriental origin; cf. Gr. taw`s, taw^s, Per. t[=a]us,
t[=a]wus, Ar. t[=a]w[=u]s. See Cock the bird.]
1. (Zool.) The male of any pheasant of the genus Pavo, of
which at least two species are known, native of Southern
Asia and the East Indies.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The upper tail coverts, which are long and capable of
erection, are each marked with a black spot bordered by
concentric bands of brilliant blue, green, and golden
colors. The common domesticated species is Pavo
cristatus. The Javan peacock (Pavo muticus) is more
brilliantly colored than the common species.
[1913 Webster]
2. In common usage, the species in general or collectively; a
peafowl.
[1913 Webster]

3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Peacock
(Heb. tuk, apparently borrowed from the Tamil tokei). This bird
is indigenous to India. It was brought to Solomon by his ships
from Tarshish (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21), which in this case
was probably a district on the Malabar coast of India, or in
Ceylon. The word so rendered in Job 39:13 literally means wild,
tumultuous crying, and properly denotes the female ostrich
(q.v.).
