Goat \Goat\ (g[=o]t), n. [OE goot, got, gat, AS. g[=a]t; akin to
   D. geit, OHG. geiz, G. geiss, Icel. geit, Sw. get, Dan. ged,
   Goth. gaits, L. haedus a young goat, kid.] (Zool.)
   A hollow-horned ruminant of the genus {Capra}, of several
   species and varieties, esp. the domestic goat ({Capra
   hircus}), which is raised for its milk, flesh, and skin.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: The Cashmere and Angora varieties of the goat have
         long, silky hair, used in the manufacture of textile
         fabrics. The wild or bezoar goat ({Capra [ae]gagrus}),
         of Asia Minor, noted for the bezoar stones found in its
         stomach, is supposed to be one of the ancestral species
         of the domestic goat. The Rocky Mountain goat
         ({Haplocercus montanus}) is more nearly related to the
         antelopes. See {Mazame}.
