A: Short answer: A "pit bull" (or "pit bull terrier") is a type of dog.
Long answer: I am not 100% positive about the etymology, however often dog breed names have something to do with what the type of dog was trained or used for by people in the past. For example, as I have read, the dachshund breed (literally meaning "badger hound/dog" in German), was used by badger hunters. The dachshund would chase the badgers out of their underground dens, then the hunters could hunt the badgers. In the case of a pit bull, I have read that the dogs were put into pits (a sort of dug-out, large hole in the ground) where they would fight or hunt rats and people would bet on the dogs. I am not sure that is true, but I have read it in a few online articles.
