A marmoset is a very small monkey from Central and South America. It has long hair, a long tail, and large eyes; some kinds have of hair around the ears, so the face can look a bit like a tiny old man. They live in trees and eat insects, tree sap, and fruit. You might see one in a zoo. It is not an ape, and it is much smaller than the monkeys most people picture first.
狨猴
組成From Middle French marmouset, which meant a gargoyle or a small child, probably from marmouser (“to mumble”), a word that copies a sound.
