armadille

/aʁ.ma.dij/

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

armadille is feminine in French.

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”).
