Titera's Tidbit: Cheetah
The name of this fast-running African cat comes from the language of the Indians who traded along the continent's eastern coast. In Sanskirt, chita means "spotted", which well describes the cat's coat. The word also gives rise to the word "chintz", a kind of printed calico from India.
