Thunar

Where it comes from

Borrowed from German Thunar, a learned borrowing from Old Saxon Thunær, from Proto-West Germanic *Þunr. Doublet of Thor, Thunor, and thunder.

proper noun

dated The god Thor in continental Germanic mythology. On the other hand, since the devil has, to a great extent, usurped the place of Thunar, it naturally follows that the favourite animal of the fallen god is often found reversing his former functions, and ministering to the powers of darkness.
