a dog, now used, except in poetry, only of dogs of the chase, and particularly of the breed used in hunting the fox, the "hound" par excellence. Other breeds have a defining word prefixed, e.g. boar-hound, stag-hound, &c. (see DoG). The O. Eng. hund is the common Teutonic name for the animal, cf. Du. hond, Ger. Hund, &c., and is cognate with Sansk. Ivan, Gr. Kuwv, Lat. canis, Ir. and Gael. cu.
