Effodientia

/ˌɛfoʊdiˈɛnʃə/ noun

Definition

The quality or act of digging out; excavation or the capacity to excavate.

Etymology

Latin abstract noun formation from effodiens, using the -ia suffix. Used in medieval and Renaissance natural history to describe properties of earth-moving organisms and geological processes.

Kelly Says

Medieval naturalists would classify earthworms and moles under 'creatures of effodientia'—they had a whole philosophical framework for understanding what we'd simply call 'burrowing animals,' giving it almost cosmic significance.
