dicynodont
A dicynodont is a prehistoric animal belonging to the suborder Dicynodontia, characterized by their mammal-like reptilian features and distinctive beak-like mouth. They existed during the Late Permian and Triassic period, with their fossils found in abundance globally. These herbivorous creatures, classified under the larger order of Therapsida, are known for having two tusks - a characteristic which their name 'dicynodont' reflects, stemming from the Greek words 'di', meaning 'two', and 'cyno', meaning 'dog'.
Webster Dictionary

one of a group of extinct reptiles having the jaws armed with a horny beak, as in turtles, and in the genus Dicynodon, supporting also a pair of powerful tusks. Their remains are found in triassic strata of South Africa and India
Etymology: [Gr. di- = di`s- twice + dog + 'odoy`s, 'odo`ntos, tooth.]

Dicynodont
Dicynodontia is a taxon of anomodont therapsids or mammal-like reptiles with beginnings in the mid-Permian, which were dominant from Late Permian through the Triassic, with a few surviving into the Early Cretaceous. Dicynodonts were small to large herbivorous animals with two tusks, hence their name, which means 'two dog tooth'. They are also the most successful and diverse of the non-mammalian therapsids, with over 70 genera known, varying from rat- to ox-sized.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Dicynodont
di-sin′o-dont, n. an extinct reptile, allied to tortoises on one hand and mammals on the other. [Formed from Gr. di-, two, cyōn, dog, and odous, odontos, tooth.]
