南米の先住民の言葉から。

cougar (n.)

1774, from French couguar, Buffon's adaption (influenced by jaguar) of a word the Portuguese picked up in Brazil as ?u?uarana, perhaps from Tupi susuarana, from suasu "deer" + rana "false." Another proposed source is Guarani gua?u ara. Evidently the cedillas dropped off the word before Buffon got it. Slang sense of "older woman (35-plus) who seeks younger males as sex partners" is attested by 2002; said in some sources to have originated in Canada, probably from some reference to predatory feline nature.
