has gloss | eng: The term laurices refers to the foetus of the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) prepared without evisceration and consumed as a table delicacy. The word is the plural of the Latin word laurex (variant laurix, n. masc., pl. laurices; English singular occasionally laurice), assumed to have been borrowed from an Iberian source. The word is normally found in the plural number, since, due to their size, more than one would be served at a time. The rabbit was adopted by the Romans from Hispania, whence it spread over western Europe, as did likewise the custom of consuming laurices. |

Ce mot est issu du pluriel du latin laurex, probablement emprunté au langage des Ibères. Cest en effet en Hispanie, où les lapins étaient très nombreux, que sest développée la tradition de manger des laurices. Les Ibères font par la suite découvrir ce mets aux Romains lorsque ceux-ci saventurent en Hispanie, et ce sont ces derniers qui lont propagé . |
