The word "cobra" originates from the Portuguese term "cobra de capelo," which means "snake with a hood." This term was used to describe the hooded snakes of the family Elapidae, particularly the Indian cobra. The word "cobra" itself comes from the Latin "colubra," meaning "snake." The term was adopted in English in the 17th century.
