Etymology is tricky when it comes from borrowed words. Manticore comes from a Latin word that comes from a Greek word that comes from another Greek word that comes from yet another Greek word that comes from a Persian word that all refer to the same thing. Naiad, Wendigo, and Minotaur are similar cases.
