cynegetic

Etymology

PIE word *ḱwṓ. A learned borrowing from Ancient Greek κῠνηγετῐκός (kŭnēgetĭkós), from κυνηγέτης (kunēgétēs, "hunter") plus -ῐκός (-ĭkós, a suffix meaning 'of or pertaining to' that forms adjectives); κυνηγέτης (kunēgétēs) in turn comes from κύων (kúōn, "dog") plus ἡγέτης (hēgétēs, "leader").
