English

Noun

magot ‎(plural magots)

1. (archaic) The Barbary ape.
   • 1800, The Lady's Magazine Or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex (volume 31, page 16)

     The magot differs from the ape by having a long muzzle and large canine teeth; and from the baboon by having no actual tail; though it has an exuberance of skin which bears that appearance.
