Spanish term

arte cinegético

Spanish to English Other Zoology falconry // Spain
Las razones por las cuales este arte cinegético ha pervivido a través de los siglos han variado en función de las motivaciones de los propios cetreros.

"Hunting art" sounds strange. Would perhaps just "art" work, since the context of hunting is clear from the text.

Suerte.

Discussion

Gabo Pena Dec 2, 2008:
good point! I may be confused.
Katy Harris Dec 2, 2008:
The art of hunting refers more to the techniques involved in successful hunting. Does it mean that, or art depicting hunting?

art

I agree with what you say....especially if "hunting" has been mentioned beforehand.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "In the end, I went with my original inclination of simply "art". Maria's suggestion was interesting, but I think a bit obscure--no point in sending people to the dictionary to look up a word unless it is absolutely necessary. I don't think "art form" works in reference to an activity (i.e., falconry) that is, when all is said and done, more a "sport" than an "art". Thanks Liz, and thanks to everyone else who responded."

art form

Falconer's Apprentice is nothing less than a testament to Oakes belief that falconry is more than just a sport. It is something we learn from every time that we are allowed to share the world of hawk or falcon we are paired with. For they are the ultimate teachers in this **art form** we strive to excel in.

cynegetic art

This may sound too literal and I may be too dense, but the word "cynegetics" does exist in English and it has a very specific meaning, just as in Spanish:

And since the original uses the term (which most people would probably have to look up in the dictionary -- I did ;o) perhaps you should leave the target text as ambiguous.

I doono!
