yeti a large hairy creature resembling a human or bear, said to live in the highest part of the Himalayas; it is informally known as the Abominable Snowman. The term is recorded in English from the 1930s, and comes from Tibetan yeh-teh 'little manlike animal'. In 1832, B.H. Hodgson, the British representative in Nepal, published an article about a strange mountain creature in a scientific journal. He described a hirsute creature who reportedly had attacked his servants. The natives called the beast "rakshas," which means "demon." This was the first report of the Yeti made by a Westerner.
