4. Humanities: The origin of the word "beagle" is not definitive. Which of the following characteristics of the beagle is suspected to have lead to an influence on its etymology?

Answer: The dog's distinctive bay

The French terms "be'geule" (meaning "gape throat") and "beugler" (meaning "to bellow") both suggest that the dog's distinctive bay while hunting has lead to its name today. A second thought is that the beagle's name might have come from is its size. The Celtic "beag," the Old English "begele" and the French "beigh" all suggest that "beagle" could be based from a word that means "small."
