Τίγρις! 🐯✨⬆️

In Ancient Greek, the word for "tiger" is τίγρις (tígris). This word is believed to have originated from Iranian languages, possibly related to words meaning "arrow" or "sharp" due to the tiger's stripes being likened to arrows or its swift, pointed attack on prey. The word is also used in the name of the Tigris river, but the connection is debated, with some suggesting they are simply homonyms.
