Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
The Collaborative International Dictionary
Tsetse \Tset"se\, n. (Zo["o]l.) A venomous two-winged African fly ( Glossina morsitans) whose bite is very poisonous, and even fatal, to horses and cattle, but harmless to men. It renders extensive districts in which it abounds uninhabitable during certain seasons of the year. [Written also tzetze, and tsetze.]
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
fly of tropical Africa, 1849, probably via South African Dutch, from a Bantu language (compare Setswana tsetse, Luyia tsiisi "flies").
Wiktionary
n. Any fly of the genus ''Glossina'', native to Africa, that feeds on human and animal blood; known primarily as a carrier of parasitic trypanosomes.
WordNet
n. blood-sucking African fly; transmits sleeping sickness etc. [syn: tsetse fly, tzetze fly, tzetze, glossina]
Wikipedia
The Tsetse was a small American nuclear bomb developed in the 1950s that was used as the "primary" in several US thermonuclear bombs and as a small stand-alone weapon of its own. Primary is the technical term for the fission bomb component of a fusion bomb, used to start the reactions and implode and detonate the second, fusion stage.
The Tsetse primary was used in the US B43 nuclear bomb, W44 nuclear warhead, W50 nuclear warhead, B57 nuclear bomb, and W59 nuclear warhead, according to researcher Chuck Hansen.
Historical evidence indicates that these weapons shared a reliability problem, which Hansen attributes to miscalculation of the reaction cross section of tritium in fusion reactions. The weapons were not tested as extensively as some prior models due to a mid-1960s nuclear test moratorium, and the reliability problem was discovered and fixed after the moratorium ended. This problem was apparently shared by the Python primary designs.
Characteristics of these weapons are:
Tsetse primary based nuclear weapons
Model
B43
W44
W50
B57
W59
Based on this information it can be assumed that the Tsetse design itself corresponds to the size of the W44 warhead, 13.75 inches diameter and 25.3 inches long, with a weight of around 170 pounds.
Tsetse and similar can mean :
- Tse tse fly, one of the large biting flies inhabiting much of mid-continental Africa between the Sahara and the Kalahari deserts
- Tse Tse Fly (band), a late 1980s/early 1990s British rock band
- De Havilland Mosquito, FB Mk XVIII version was nicknamed Tsetse
- Tsetse primary, the common design nuclear fission bomb core for several Cold War designs for American nuclear and thermonuclear weapons
