(loài) cáo
/fɒks/
The word "fox" has a fascinating history! The term "fox" is derived from Old English "fox", which is related to Latin "foexus" and Greek "phocós". The Latin "foexus" is thought to have originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "*péku", which meant "to creep" or "to slip". This root is also seen in other words such as "peek" and "pshaw". The Old English "fox" referred specifically to the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), which was an important animal in European culture and folklore. Throughout history, foxes have been associated with cunning, intelligence, and adaptability, which have led to their frequent depiction in art, literature, and mythology. Today, the word "fox" is used in many languages to refer to various species of foxes, as well as in idiomatic expressions such as "sly as a fox" or "fox in the henhouse", emphasizing the animal's reputation for cleverness and cunning.
