Definitions

  1. any of several mites of the order Acarina

Word origin

Learned borrowing from taxonomic name Acarus, from Ancient Greek ἀκαρί (akarí, “cheese mite, tick”).

Used in a sentence

  • The number of Acari found in raw sugar is sometimes exceedingly great, and in no instance is the article quite free from either the insects or their ova (eggs).
  • All the time I had been in Ceram I had suffered much from the irritating bites of an invisible acarus, which is worse than mosquitoes, ants, and every other pest, because it is impossible to guard against them.
