In the Middle Ages, Termagant or Tervagant was the name of a god that some European Christians believed Muslims worshipped.[1][2] It originates in the eleventh-century Song of Roland
The word is also used in modern English to mean a violent, overbearing, turbulent, brawling, quarrelsome woman; a virago, shrew, or vixen.[1] In the past, the word could be applied to any person or thing personified, not just a woman.
