hartebeest

/hˈɑɹɾɪbˌist/ noun C1

a large African antelope with curved horns

Word Origin A compound of 'hart' (a male deer) and 'beest' (beast) — so it's literally 'deer-beast,' an African antelope named for its resemblance. 'Hart' is from Proto-Germanic herutaz, related to 'horn' (PIE *ḱerh₂- means 'horn, head'), and 'beast' from Latin bestia. The same root gives us 'hart' still used for a red deer stag, and 'beast' with its derivatives like 'beastly.'
