A large, humped desert animal with one hump, native to Africa and Asia, used for transportation and carrying loads.
From Latin dromedarius, from Greek dromas meaning 'runner,' named for its remarkable speed and endurance in desert crossings.
Despite their reputation for being slow, dromedaries can reach 40 mph in short bursts—the name dromedary literally means 'the running one' in ancient Greek!
