vulture
vulture: [14] The origins of Latin vultur ‘vulture’ are uncertain, although it may be related to Latin vellere ‘pluck, tear’. English acquired it not directly, but by way of its derived adjective vulturius, which produced the Old French noun voltour. This passed into English via Anglo- Norman vultur.
