duckbilled
Flat, wide-mouthed
Duckbilled describes something shaped like a duck's bill—broad, flat, and rounded at the end.
The duckbilled platypus is the classic example, its snout resembling a duck's beak.
The term applies to various tools, clips, and implements sharing this flattened shape: duckbilled pliers, a duckbilled speculum.
