The art or practice of hunting gazelles or similar small deer, historically practiced in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.
From Greek 'dorkas' (gazelle) combined with '-try' (practice or art); reflects ancient Greek hunting terminology that influenced European medieval vocabulary.
Dorcastry captures a specific hunting tradition that's almost completely forgotten today, yet the word survived in obscure hunting manuals—it's like a linguistic fossil of ancient Mediterranean sport.
