armadille

/aʁ.ma.dij/

noun, feminine/aʁ.ma.dij/plural: armadilles

armadillo; pill bug; A small Spanish armada

Il ne résulte pas du fait que les armadilles mangent des choses ignobles que leur chair le soit également.Just because armadillos eat foul things doesn't mean that their meat is such.

Borrowed from Spanish armadillo (“armadillo”) and armadilla (“small naval armada”), with the sense of "woodlouse" being a semantic loan from taxonomic name Armadillo (“genus of isopods”).
