jaguarn.

Brit.

/ˈdʒaɡjʊə/, U.S.

/ˈdʒæɡˌwɑr/

Forms: Also 1700s jaguara.

Etymology: < Tupi-Guarani yaguara, jaguara /ja-/, /ʒawaːra/.According to writers on Tupi-Guarani, jaguara or jagua is originally a class-name for all carnivorous beasts, including the tiger (i.e. jaguar), the puma, etc., more recently also extended to dogs, the specific name of the jaguar being jaguareté, where -eté is a Tupi augmentative, generally rendered ‘true’. De Lery (1580), cited by Hatzfeld & Darmesteter, gave the Tupi-Guarani name as jan-ou-are (apparently a misprint or misreading of jau-ou-are). The etymological meaning of the Tupi word is disputed: see Skeat in Trans. Philol. Soc. 1885, 89; also Burton Highlands of Brazil II. 21, Hans Stade xliii.

A large carnivorous quadruped of the cat kind ( Felis onca), inhabiting wooded parts of America from Texas to Paraguay. It is yellowish-brown in colour, and is marked with ocellated spots.
