Where it comes from
From Ancient Greek κύων (kúōn, “dog”) + ἀμέλγω (amélgō, “to milk”). Apparently from a word coined by Aristophanes of Byzantium for a race of humans with long hair and beards who hunted with dogs and, according to Aristophanes, milked them. (See Crab-eating macaque on Wikipedia.Wikipedia).
