† camelionn.

Forms: Also Middle English camalyon.

Etymology: As a word apparently the same as chameleon n., but in the 14th cent. taken as made up of camel + lion, and identified with camelo-pard.

Obsolete.

A camelopard or giraffe. [Wyclif appears to have had before him a Latin text reading cameleopardalum; this he mistook for two words, rendering cameleo ‘camelion’ (with a description identifying it with the giraffe), and pardalum ‘pardalun, that is a litil pard’. But some manuscripts correct this by omitting the latter, thus taking ‘camelion’ as the translation of the whole camelopardalum: this was followed by Coverdale.]
