Etymology

Ancient Greek

Noun

cynarctomachy (uncountable)

  1. (obsolete) bearbaiting with a dog
    "And shall we turn our fangs and claws
    Upon our own selves, without cause?
    That some occult design doth lie
    In bloody cynarctomachy,
    Is plain enough to him that knows
    How Saints lead brothers by the nose."
