   DARN, why others can make empty lines and I can’t? Every time I try it gets deleted… :/

   So in short, Alicorn has NOTHING to do with winged Unicorns. Someone started using it for that by mistake because he had no clue what it truly means.

   Alicorn = the horn of a Unicorn.

   The idea of Alicorn meaning winged Uniorn is false.

   And the Latin pseudo-explanation that is wide spread is flawed as well. It all started with a book author using the term incorrectly, out of mistake. he had no idea what it means, and assumed it means Winged Unicorn because it appeared in an ad.

   It is a pure accident that the Latin for wing sounds similar.

   There never was a word for winged Unicorn. There were intentional attempts, resulting in words like “pegacorn” or “unipeg” from mashing Unicorn and Pegasus.

   Also, Pegasus was the name of one, specific winged horse and not a term meaning winged horse in general.

   (In Lation it would be “Alate Unicornis”. In no any way would that become Ali- .)

   Just harvest some rainbows and grind them down to fine powder.

   Actually, that is not fully correct.

   There is a very rare horse coat called “white” (I mean true white, as opposed to people calling gray white out of ignorance). Horses of this color have pink skin all over, and blue eyes. Also, this is NOT the same as albinism. And indeed, white horses are more sensitive to light.

   Given she is a Unicorn who are usually referred to as “pure white”, the same could apply to her.

   Also, just as an interesting fact, equines primarily thermoregulate via the muscles in their skin that allow the precise raising and lowering of the hairs and thus changing the heat insulation factor of the coat via the amount of air between the hairs. (This is why trimming horses is harmful, and also why blanketing does more harm than good by disabling the natural thermoregulation of the skin.)

   P.s.: I know, I know, one year old comment… but I had to say.

   I either found the subtlest-ever-reference or the funniest-ever-coincidence of the comic:
