"Shih Tzu" meaning in English

See Shih Tzu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈʃɪtzuː/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈʃɪtzuː/ [General-American], /ˈʃiːtsuː/ [General-American] Audio: en-au-Shih Tzu.ogg Forms: Shih Tzus [plural], Shih Tzu [plural]
Etymology: From the Wade–Giles romanisation shih¹-tzŭ⁵ of Mandarin 獅子/狮子 (shīzi, “lion”), a contraction of 獅子狗/狮子狗 (shīzigǒu, literally “lion dog”), from the breed's resemblance to Chinese guardian lion statues. The original Mandarin word now refers only to the Pekingese, while this breed now properly goes by the name 西施犬 (xīshīquǎn, literally “Xi Shi dog”).
