anthiasn.

Brit.

/ˈanθɪas/,

/ˈanθɪəs/, U.S.

/ˈænθiəs/

Inflections: Plural unchanged.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin anthiās.

Etymology: < classical Latin anthiās < ancient Greek ἀνθίας , of uncertain origin; perhaps < ἄνθος flower (see anthos n.) + -ίας, suffix forming nouns and adjectives; perhaps so called on account of its rich colours. Adopted in scientific Latin as the specific name anthias ( Linnaeus Systema Naturae (ed. 10, 1758) I. 282, in the genus Labrus), and later as the genus name Anthias ( M. E. Bloch Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische (1792) VI. 97). Compare Middle French, French anthias (1562 in Du Pinet's translation of Pliny).

Originally: any of several small, brightly-coloured serranid fishes found in the Mediterranean and referred to by classical authors; esp. the swallowtail sea perch, Anthias anthias. In later use: any of numerous small serranid fishes of the subfamily Anthiinae, many of which swarm on coral reefs, are brightly coloured, and are popular with aquarists.Most anthias were originally placed in the type genus Anthias.
