menhadenn.

Brit.

/mɛnˈheɪdn/, U.S.

/mɛnˈheɪd(ə)n/

Inflections: Plural menhadens, unchanged.

Forms: 1700s manhadden, 1700s– menhaden, 1800s manhaden, 1800s manhayden, 1900s– menhadden.

Origin: A borrowing from Narragansett; apparently modelled on a Narragansett lexical item. Etymon: Narragansett munnawhatteaûg.

Etymology: < Narragansett munnawhatteaûg, plural (1643 in R. Williams A Key into the Language of America), or an unrecorded cognate of this, apparently influenced by the synonym poghaden, variant of pauhagen n. (though this is attested only later).The suggestion is made in N.E.D. (1906) that, as the fish was used by North American Indians for manure, its name might be connected with the verb munnohquohteau ‘he enriches the land, fertilizes’ (in J. Eliot's translation of the Bible into Massachusett (1663)); this is etymologically incorrect. The Dict. Amer. Regional Eng. records U.S. regional pronunciations, now rare, with /æ/ in the second syllable.

Any of several deep-bodied herring-like fishes of the genus Brevoortia (family Clupeidae), esp. B. tyrannus, which are found on the Atlantic coast of North America and are an important source of fish guano, oil, and fish meal.
