Answer 1

It seems Spanish has a longer standing claim on the word than English. Originally an Ancient Greek word, meaning 'large serpent', the Romans adopted it into Latin, which eventually developed into the Romance languages, including Spanish and French. Apparently it was not used in English until the after the Norman invasion, its first recorded usage in English dating to the 13th century.

The equivalent word in Old English was wyrm, which, as in Ancient Greek, really simply means 'large serpent', being etymologically related to the word worm, which is also an alternative spelling of wyrm, as well as meaning a small slithery limbless invertebrate.

The French word for worm, ver, is also used in French as an alternative for dragon, particularly in fantasy writing . It seems wyrm is also used in French and Portuguese, but I have no idea about Spanish.

Ancient Greek ?????? ---> Latin draco ---> Old French/Spanish dragon ---> English dragon

Very interesting! Ver is not used in Spanish, although we use "vermífugo", smth, able to kill threadworms (lombrices intestinales). - LuisCache, May 28, 2015

My kids love stories about fire-breathing dragons.A mis hijos les encantan historias sobre dragones que escupen fuego.

Also also sometimes "la dragonsuela". La dragoncita preciosa, el modelo de belleza femenina... Oh, I love that scene! :-D - Manity, May 28, 2015
