Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'faunal', derived from Late Latin 'fauna' (pertaining to the animals of a region, from Faunus, a Roman deity of the countryside), with 'survey', derived from Anglo-Norman 'survee' and Latin 'supervidere' (to oversee). Established in scientific and ecological terminology during the 19th century to denote systematic field assessments of animal populations.
