Etymology
Pleurodeles , including the Iberian ribbed newt , is the type genus of subfamily Pleurodelinae. The Old English name of the animal was efte , efeta (of unknown origin), resulting in Middle English eft ; this word was transformed irregularly into euft , evete , or ewt(e) . The initial "n" was added from the indefinite article "an" by provection (juncture loss) ("an eft" → "a n'eft" → ...) by the early 15th century. The form "newt" appears to have arisen as a dialectal variant of eft in Staffordshire , but entered Standard English by the Early Modern period (used by Shakespeare in Macbeth iv.1).
