From cultri- (knife, from Latin culter) + -rostral (related to beak or snout, from Latin rostrum). Combines two Latin roots to describe a specific bird or animal feature.
Some birds like certain sandpipers have cultrirostral beaks—long, flat, and knife-sharp—which they use to probe into sand and mud to find food with incredible precision.
