释义

jubartesn.

Forms: Also 1600s jubertas, jubartus, dubartas, 1700s dubartus.
Etymology: < modern Latin jubartēs, French jubarte; also called Jupiter , or Jupiter-fisch (Anderson Nachrichten von Island, Hamburg, 1748) and gibbert n. French gibbar in Cotgrave As to the origin of the word, J. H. Trumbull in Fisheries & Fish. Indust. U.S. (1884) I. 29, says: ‘Rondelet..gives a figure of a “Balæna Vera”..which the whale-fishers of Saintonge call Gibbar or Gibbero Dorso, that is “raised in a hump on which is the fin.” From this provincial name came Gibbartas, Gubartas, Jubart, Jubartes, Jupiter, and half a dozen other corruptions, introduced first among mariners.’ (Anderson calls gibbar a Basque word.)
Obsolete.
A name given in 17–18th centuries to species of Rorqual, Fin-whale, or Finner, esp. that found near the coast of New England. (Sometimes applied erroneously, e.g. in quot. 1701 to the Cachalot.)It figures in various works on Natural History, from Klein 1740 to Cuvier 1836, as Balænoptera jubartes, Baleinoptère Jubarte, Rorqual Jubarte, but the name has disappeared from more recent works.
