Meaning
noun small active carnivore that probably fed on protoceratops; possibly related more closely to birds than to other dinosaurs
originFrom New Latin Velociraptor genus name, from vēlōx (“swift”) + raptor (“thief”). The application to Deinonychus came about because Gregory S. Paul proposed that Velociraptor and Deinonychus were the same genus and this idea was taken up in the book leading to the Jurassic Park film series.
