Adder
This page refers to the type of snake. For an electronic adder, see Adder (electronics).
Adder is another name for viper. Most snakes called adders belong to the family Viperidae, more precisely to subfamily viperinae (by contrast to pit vipers). An exception is the Australian Death adder, which despite its name is not a viperid at all, but rather a member of the cobra family, Elapidae.

Etymology: The word was in Old Eng. noedre,
later nadder or naddre; in the 14th century a nadder
was, like a napron, wrongly divided into an adder. It
appears with the generic meaning of serpent in the older
forms of many Teutonic languages, cf. Old High Ger. natra;
Goth. nadrs. It is thus used in the Old English version of
the Christian Scriptures for the devil, the serpent of Genesis.
