different between leprechaun vs kabouter
leprechaun
English
Alternative forms
- lepracaun
Etymology
From Irish leipreachán, luprachán, from Middle Irish luchrupán, from Old Irish luchorpán. See also Irish lucharachán.
The word's further etymology is disputed; it is traditionally explained as a compound containing lú (“small”, from Proto-Indo-European *h?leng??-) + corp (“body”, which is from Latin corpus). However, an alternative suggestion is that it is a derivative of Latin Luperc? (“priests of Lupercus”), who were misinterpreted as an antediluvian species by medieval Irish scholars.
