cynocephaly
The characteristic of cynocephaly, having the head of a dog—or of a jackal—is a widely attested mythical phenomenon existing in many different forms and contexts.
==Etymology==
Cynocephaly is taken from the Latin word ''cynocephalus'', meaning "dog-head", which derives from (ギリシア語:κῠνοκέφᾰλοι). The prefix "cyno-" comes from the combining form of (ギリシア語:κύων) meaning "dog". This prefix forms compound words having "the sense of dog". The suffix "-cephalic" comes from the Latin word ''cephalicus'', meaning "head". This word finds its roots in (ギリシア語:κεφαλικός) (''kephalikos'') meaning "capital" from (''kephalē'') meaning "head". The suffix "-cephaly", specifically, means "a specific condition or disease of the head". This together forms "a dog-like condition or disease of the head". The phrase cynocephaly also gave birth to the term ''cynomorph'' which means "dog-like". This phrase is used primarily as ''Cynomorpha'', a sub-group of the family Cercopithecidae. This family of primates are known as "dog-like apes" and contain many species of macaques and baboons.
