The English word ' cat ' (Old English catt) is in origin a loanword, introduced to many languages of Europe from Latin cattus and Byzantine Greek ÎºÎ¬ÏÏÎ±, including Portuguese and Spanish gato, French chat, German Katze, Lithuanian katÄ, and Old Church Slavonic kotka, among others.
âCats and dogsâ may come from the Greek expression cata doxa, which means âcontrary to experience or belief.â If it is raining cats and dogs, it is raining unusually or unbelievably hard. âCats and dogsâ may be a perversion of the now obsolete word catadupe. In old English, catadupe meant a cataract or waterfall. A version of catadupe existed in many old languages.In Latin, for example, catadupa. was borrowed from the classical Greek ÎºÎ±ÏÎ¬Î´Î¿ÏÏÎ¿Î¹, which referred to the cataracts of the Nile River.
