The word "Quadricorn" is a portmanteau of two words: "quadruped" and "unicorn".
1. "Quadruped" comes from the Latin word "quadrupes", which means "four-footed". It is a combination of the prefix "quadri-" meaning "four" and "pes" meaning "foot".
2. "Unicorn" comes from the Latin word "unicornis", which is a combination of "uni-" meaning "one" and "cornu" meaning "horn".
By combining these two words, "quadruped" and "unicorn", the word "Quadricorn" refers to a mythical creature that is a blend of a quadruped and a unicorn, typically described as having the body of a four-legged animal (such as a horse) and a single horn on its forehead.
