* Lupine: The word "lupine" is derived from "lupus" and refers to plants in the genus *Lupinus*. These plants were named so because their leaves resemble a wolf's paw.
* Wolves: The Latin name for wolves is Canis lupus, which literally translates to "dog wolf." This name directly connects wolves to the Latin root "lupus."
So, the word "lupine" is a direct descendant of the Latin word for "wolf," reflecting the association between wolves and certain plants.
