mudfishn.

Brit.

/ˈmʌdfɪʃ/, U.S.

/ˈmədˌfɪʃ/

Forms: see mud n.¹ and fish n.¹; also 1500s modefyshe.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mud n.¹, fish n.¹

Etymology: < mud n.¹ + fish n.¹ Sc. National Dict. s.v. mud n.¹, v.¹ suggests that use of the term in sense 2 arises from the fact that the slime and pigment which are removed during the salting process form a muddy brine which colours the flesh of the fish.

1. A fish which lives in mud (whether marine, estuarine, or freshwater); spec. (a) U.S. the black and silver killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus; (b) U.S. the bowfin, Amia calva; †(c) a kind of loach (not identified); (d) a lungfish, esp. Lepidosiren paradoxa of South America and Protopterus annectus of Africa; (e) U.S. a mudminnow; (f) either of two freshwater burrowing fishes of New Zealand, Neochanna apoda and N. diversus (family Galaxiidae), which are able to survive buried in mud and debris in swamps, etc., that dry up during the summer; (g) U.S. the mud-sucker, Gillichthys mirabilis.
