   peregrine

   /ˈpɛrɪɡrɪn/

   noun

   • 1. a powerful falcon found on most continents, breeding chiefly on mountains and coastal cliffs and much used for falconry.

   adjective

   • 1. coming from another country; foreign or outlandish: archaic "peregrine species of grass"

   Word Origin late Middle English: from Latin peregrinus ‘foreign’, from peregre ‘abroad’, from per- ‘through’ + ager ‘field’. The falcon's name is a translation of the modern Latin taxonomic name, literally ‘pilgrim falcon’, because falconers' birds were caught fully grown on migration, not taken from the nest.
