A female lion, the large wild cat of Africa known for living in groups and hunting together.
From Old French 'lionne,' the feminine form of 'lion,' which comes from Latin 'leo' and Greek 'leon,' possibly from a Semitic source.
Female lions do most of the hunting while males protect territory—they're the true hunters of the pride, making 'lioness' a word that actually describes the more powerful hunter!
