What does the word Chimpanzee mean in the African language it is from?
Yes, I know it means Chimpanzee, but it must have an underlying meaning.|||The name is derived from an Angolan Bantu language term "Tshiluba kivili-chimpenze", which is the local name for the animal and translates loosely as "mockman" or possibly just "ape".|||Wikipedia is the source. Thought I had added it.
