Definition lion
Etymology
From Middle English lyoun, lion, leon, borrowed from Old French lion, from Latin le?, (accusative: le?nem), from Ancient Greek ???? (lé?n). Some argue that it is a borrowing from a Semitic language; however evidence is not clear and the relation with Proto-Semitic *labi?- is not solid. Semitic "labi/lavi" could either be a parent term to the Greek one or both could have evolved independently from a now lost root.
