tercel
(TUR-sel)

noun
The male of a hawk, especially of the peregrine falcon or a goshawk.

Etymology
From Middle English, from Middle French tercuel, from Vulgar Latin tertiolus, diminutive of Latin tertius (third). Ultimately from Indo-European root trei- (three) that's also the source of such words as three, testify (to be the third person), triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13)

Why the sense of third in the word for a male hawk? It's either from the belief that the third egg produced a male, or from the fact that the male of hawk is one-third smaller than the female. Spelling variants: tiercel, tercelet.

Usage
"Adam was a 2-year-old tercel Hubbard had been working with for more than a year. The bird was acquired from a federally licensed breeder for $1,000." — Rich Landers; Falconer Puzzled by Loss of Bird; Spokesman Review (Spokane, Washington); Jan 10, 1999.

"On this occasion the tercel flew off after a pigeon, and though the bird was fitted with a tracking device, it disappeared." — William Shaw; Bird on a Wire; The Observer (London, UK); Apr 13, 2003.
