partridge (bird); possibly from its calling sound
The partridge is a game bird known for its distinctive call, mentioned in contexts of hunting and natural imagery. In 1 Samuel 26:20, David compares himself to a partridge hunted in the mountains—a figure of insignificance being pursued unnecessarily. Jeremiah 17:11 uses the partridge gathering eggs it didn't lay as a metaphor for ill-gotten wealth. The bird's name may derive from its characteristic calling sound. These desert-dwelling birds were common enough to serve as recognizable metaphors.

1. sense 1 — Most translations preserve 'partridge' as a loan word: Spanish 'perdiz,' English 'partridge,' French 'partridge.' Both biblical references use the bird metaphorically rather than literally—David fleeing for his life like hunted prey (1 Samuel 26:20), and the foolish person gathering what isn't theirs like the brooding partridge (Jeremiah 17:11). The bird serves as a cultural reference point for both vulnerability and misguided effort. 2×
