Etymology[edit]

Are the two English meanings really distinct? From what I've been given to understand, both are from lynx, the computing sense being from an analogy between the Gopher-browsing program and the gopher-eating animal. Perhaps one is from the Latin and one from the English -- but then, how could that be proven? -- Visviva 11:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
