    The prefix ailuro- does mean cat, in much the same way that the wordfelis” means cat.

    But I’m not enough of a pedant to try to argue the point though – in our crazy, anything goes modern world, people use whole words in place of prefixes all the time, and that’s okay: languages change! Just like ailuro- used to be Greek, and then got pulled into Latin! 😆
