Loup-garou \Loup`-ga`rou"\, n.; pl. {Loups-garous}. [F., fr.
   loup wolf + a Teutonic word akin to E. werewolf.]
   A werewolf; a lycanthrope.

         The superstition of the loup-garou, or werewolf,
         belongs to the folklore of most modern nations, and has
         its reflex in the story of ``Little Red Riding-hood''
         and others.                              --Brinton.
