Relating to hunting or the chase, especially the hunting of game animals with dogs.
From Greek 'kynegetes' (hunter with dogs), derived from 'kyon' (dog) and 'hegesis' (leading/hunting), literally meaning 'leading dogs' in the hunt.
The word 'hunting' itself comes from ancient dog-based activities—almost every hunting term originally specified that dogs were involved, showing how central they were to human survival.
