Noun [English]

Forms: monitor lizards [plural]
Etymology: From the obsolete taxa Monitor and Lacerta monitor now displaced by Varanus within the single-species family Varanidae. The word Monitor is a calque of German Warner, which is a loanword from Arabic وَرَن (waran). The conflation of the two words was encouraged by the lizards' habit of standing on their hind legs and appearing to monitor their surroundings.
