Inaccurate: the original description of a dragon was actually, as I quote, "Dragon, a serpent of huge size, water-snake." Any other description was actually through the media and popular culture (the wings and fire breathing). Originally, dragons had no fire breathing nor any wings; they were just huge, freaking huge lizards.

And also, the word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which in turn comes from Latin draconem which translates to, also quote, "huge serpent, dragon"

Lucifer is described as the ancient serpent = which is indeed a Dragon.
