There is a Latin word 'Draco' and a Greek word 'Drakon' both meaning a serpent. Both words were adopted into Old French as 'dragon' and this word passed into English, In a Biblical sense 'dragon' was used to describe a large snake or crocodile. Satan was also known as The Dragon. Another meaning that has evolved is 'the one with the deadly glance' probably linked to the 'snake' explanation.
