Leonine derives from Latin
leo, meaning "lion," which in turn comes from Greek
leōn.
Leōn gave us an interesting range of words:
leopard (which derives from
leōn combined with
pardos, a Greek word for a panther-like animal);
dandelion (which came by way of the Anglo-French phrase
dent de lion—literally, "lion's tooth"); and
chameleon (which combines
leōn with the Greek
chamai, meaning
"on the ground"); as well as the names
Leo,
Leon, and
Leonard. But the dancer's and gymnast's
leotard
is not named for its wearer's cat-like movements. Rather, it was simply
named after its inventor, Jules Leotard, a 19th-century French aerial
gymnast.
