query: from which language has the word cheetah originated

pos: Cheetah kill game at hunts in the past. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation. The vernacular name "cheetah" is derived from "cītā" (), which in turn comes from the Sanskrit word "" (चित्रकायः) meaning "bright" or "variegated". The first recorded use of this word has been dated back to 1610. An alternative name for the cheetah is "hunting leopard". The scientific name of the cheetah is "Acinonyx jubatus". The generic name "Acinonyx" originated from the combination of two Greek words: "akinetos" means motionless, and "onyx" means claw. A rough translation of the word would be

pos: Saraiki language the north, principally Siraiki-speaking Baloch tribes who settled there between the 16th and the 19th centuries. In this context, the term can most plausibly be explained as originally having had the meaning "the language of the north", from the Sindhi word ' 'up-river, north'. This name can ambiguously refer to the northern dialects of Sindhi, but these are nowadays more commonly known as "Siroli" or "Sireli". An alternative hypothesis is that "Sarākī" originated in the word "sauvīrā", or Sauvira, an ancient kingdom which was also mentioned in the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. Currently, the most common rendering of the name is

In 1843, the French zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville described a cheetah from Senegal as "Felis jubata senegalensis". As this name was preoccupied, it is considered synonymous with "A. j. hecki". The Northwest African cheetah is quite different in appearance from the other African cheetahs. Its coat is shorter and nearly white in color, with spots that fade from black over the spine to light brown on the legs. The face has few or even no spots, and the tear stripes (dark stripes running from the medial canthus of each eye

For this reason, lexicographer Philip Gove attributed many such words to the "international scientific vocabulary" (ISV) when compiling "Webster's Third New International Dictionary" (1961). Another active word-formation process in English is acronyms, words formed by pronouncing as a single word abbreviations of longer phrases (e.g. "NATO", "laser"). English, besides forming new words from existing words and their roots, also borrows words from other languages. This adoption of words from other languages is commonplace in many world languages, but English has been especially open to borrowing of foreign words throughout the last 1,000

neg: Asiatic cheetah Indian royalty to use for hunting wild antelopes. The Indian cheetah was proposed as a subspecies by British zoologist Edward Griffith in 1821. Griffith's description of "Felis venatica" was based upon a specimen from British India and published in "Griffith's Cuvier's Le Règne Animal" with the help of Griffith's assistant naturalist Charles Hamilton Smith in 1827. In 1913, the German zoologist proposed "Acinonyx raddei" for the cheetah population in Central Asia, the Trans-Caspian cheetah. Hilzheimer's type specimen originated in Merv, Turkmenistan. Results of a five-year phylogeographic study on cheetah subspecies indicate that Asiatic and African cheetah populations separated between 32,000

The species originated in western South America. The Nahuatl (Aztec language) word "tomatl" gave rise to the Spanish word "tomate", from which the English word "tomato" derived. Its use as a cultivated food may have originated with the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The Spanish encountered the tomato from their contact with the Aztec during the Spanish colonization of the Americas and brought it to Europe. From there, the tomato was introduced to other parts of the European-colonized world

Proto-Philippine is not directly attested to in any written work, but linguistic reconstruction by the comparative method has found regular similarities among languages that cannot be explained by coincidence or word-borrowing. Ancient forms of roots and words have been extrapolated from the similarities. Proto-Philippine originated from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian and ultimately from Proto-Austronesian. The proto-phonemes *j and

neg: Nigger Nigger In the English language, the word nigger is a racial slur typically directed at black people. The word originated in the 18th century as an adaptation of the Spanish negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective "niger" which means black. It was used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously pejorative, a racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, it is often referred to by the euphemism "N-word". The

It is not clear where the name "Guaymí" originated, although there has been speculation. One such theory is that the term was derived from the Buglere word "ngwamigda", which means “indigenous.” Rolando Rodríguez offers another theory of the origin of the words "Guaymí" and "Bogotá" in reference to the Ngäbe and Buglé peoples, respectively, that the terms come from both the Ngäbere and Buglere languages: Vagueness and long silences are normal and acceptable in communication. In fact,

He found, among other examples, the Basque words ""ibai"" (river) and ""ibar"" (bottom) to repeat continuously in European rivers, or the word ""haran"" (valley) in toponyms such as Val d'Aran, Arendal, Arundel, Arnach, Arnsberg, Aresburg, Ahrensburg, Aranbach or Arnstein. The Vennemann theory has been criticized by Basque scholars and it is not accepted by most linguists. Specifically, Trask, after many pointed critiques of the methods employed, affirmed that Vennemann

In grammar–translation classes, students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by translating sentences between the target language and the native language. Advanced students may be required to translate whole texts word-for-word. The method has two main goals: to enable students to read and translate literature written in the source language, and to further students' general intellectual development. It originated from the practice of teaching Latin; in the early 1500s, students learned Latin for

For example, in 1266, Margrete Sambiria, Dowager Queen of Denmark was named the Lady of Estonia and Virland. The name "Viru" probably has Finnic roots (e.g., Finnish language "vireä" means "vivacious", "lively"). According to an alternative hypothesis the word "Viru" may have originated from Baltic languages with the meaning 'man' (cf. English word "virile"). Earliest mention of the name is probably on the Ängby Runestone located in Uppland, Sweden which has inscription in memory of a Viking named Björn who was killed in Virland

Since Brabantic has a higher number of short words than do Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, Goropius reasoned that it was the older language. A corollary of this theory was that all languages derived ultimately from Brabantic. The Latin word for “oak,” "quercus", Goropius derived from "werd-cou" (“keeps out cold”); the Hebrew name “Noah” he derived from "nood" (“need”). Goropius also believed that Adam and Eve were Brabantic names (from "Hath-Dam", or “dam against hate"; and "Eu-Vat", “barrel from which people originated,” or from "Eet-Vat", “oath-barrel,” respectively). Another corollary involved locating the Garden of Eden

In printing, "cliché" came to mean a stereotype, electrotype or cast plate or block reproducing words or images that would be used repeatedly. It has been suggested that the word originated from the clicking sound in "dabbed" printing (a particular form of stereotyping in which the block was impressed into a bath of molten type-metal to form a matrix). Through this onomatopoeia, "cliché" came to mean a ready-made, oft-repeated phrase. Various dictionaries recognize a

"Baka", which originated as a 14th-century literary insult, has become "the most commonly used" swearword in contemporary Japanese. Usages of this term can be discussed in terms of pragmatic depth, dialectal variation, and proper names. The linguistic pragmatics of using insults like "baka" can be language specific. For instance, Japanese has fewer words for calling someone a "fool" than English. Jack Seward recounts asking his language teacher "to prepare a list of the most stunning and forcible insults, pejoratives, and curses in Japanese", but
