means A small Welsh herding dog with short legs, an elongated body, upright ears, and a fox-like face, traditionally used to drive cattle and famously favoured by the British royal family.

from From Welsh, where the name is generally read as 'cor' (dwarf) + 'ci' (dog) — literally 'dwarf dog,' a fittingly low-slung description. The word came into wider English use only in the twentieth century, as the breed gained fame far beyond the Welsh farms where these little dogs nipped at cattle heels to keep the herd moving.
