Forms: see below.

Etymology: < French chamois (16th cent. in Littré), probably < Swiss Romance: in Tyrolese camozza, camozz, Piedmontese camossa, camoss, modern Provençal camous, Romansh camuotsch, chamotsch (Diez); Italian camozza, camoscio (compare camoscia chamois leather); Spanish camuza, gamuza, Portuguese camuça, camurça. Presumably of the same origin as Old High German and Middle High German gamz, modern German gemse; but the relations between the Germanic and Romanic words have not been ascertained, and no etymology is known either in Latin or Germanic. See Diez, Littré, Kluge. The English form chamoy , chamoi , was doubtless partly at least due to the final -s being taken as a plural ending. The name of the animal is now always written chamois ; but sense 2 is still frequently shammy and shamoy.

a. (Forms: 1500s shamoye, 1600s shamois(e, shammois, 1600s–1700s shamoys, 1700s shammoy, chamoi, 1500s– chamois.) A capriform antelope ( A. rupicapra or Rupicapra tragus), the only representative of the antelopes found wild in Europe; it inhabits the loftiest parts of the Alps, Pyrenees, Taurus, and other mountain ranges of Europe and Asia.Its size is that of a full-grown goat; it is covered with brown hair, and has horns, about six inches long, which rise straight above the head, bending back so as to form complete hooks. Its agility and keenness of scent make its chase most difficult and exciting. (The ‘chamois’ of the English Bible is probably a moufflon.)
