The word jaguar comes into English by way of Portuguese, from the Tupi word jaguara meaning any large carnivore. The compound form jaguarete means "true large carnivore". The Guarani word yaguarete has the same meaning.
Early reports that it has anything to do with "animal that kills with a single bound" were mistaken and false.
Jaguar is properly pronounced jag-wahr.
