Etymology: Partly (in α. forms) < post-classical Latin hippogriphus, hippogryphus (1581 or earlier); partly (in γ. forms) < French hippogriffe (1556in Middle French as hippogrife); and partly (in β. forms) < their etymon Italian ippogrifo (1516 as hippogrypho in Ariosto) < ancient Greek ἵππος horse (see hippo- comb. form) + Italian grifo (see griffin n.¹). Compare hippogriffin n.Compare the following earlier example of Hippogryfus as the name of a horse:1607 E. Topsell Hist. Foure-footed Beastes 283 Vnto these may be added the affected names of Poets in loue of their fauorites, as Rholandus, Vegiantinus, Baiardus, the horsse of Rainaldus, Rubicanus of Argalifas, Hippogryfus of Rugertus, Frontinus and Fratalatus of Sacrapan, and Rondellius of Oliuerius.

1. A mythical creature with the body and hind legs of a horse, the head and wings of an eagle or griffin, and feathered and taloned forelegs.The mating of griffins with mares is mentioned—as an improbable or impossible occurrence—in Virgil's Eclogues ( viii. 27). While depictions of beasts with the foreparts of an eagle and the hindquarters of a horse are occasionally found in classical and medieval art, a hippogriff is first described and named in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (1516), where (though difficult to control) it is ridden by various characters. Hippogriffs have been brought to a wider audience in recent years through their depiction in the fiction of J. K. Rowling.
