Falcon [SEP] Etymology
The genus name "Falco" is from Late Latin "falx", "falcis", a sickle, referring to the claws of the bird. In Middle English and Old French, the title "faucon" refers generically to several captive raptor species. The traditional term for a male falcon is "tercel" (British spelling) or "tiercel" (American spelling), from the Latin (third) because of the belief that only one in three eggs hatched a male bird. Some sources give the etymology as deriving from the fact that a male falcon is about one-third smaller than a female (). A falcon chick, especially one reared for falconry, still in its downy stage, is known as an "eyas" (sometimes spelled "eyass").
