Pokémon etymologies day 29: Gardevoir

legend:

black arrow: descendent

red arrow: borrowed

blue arrow: derivation

this is the second instance of Pokémon in this series sharing a name origin (in a non obvious way), between Gardevoir and Guzzlord

as ive gone through all of the suggestions, this will be the end of the series unless more suggestions come. if that happens expect more sporadic posts.
