Forms: 1700s assotra, 1700s 1900s– osetr, 1800s osioter, 1800s– osseter, 1900s– ocetre, 1900s– oscetre, 1900s– osetra, 1900s– osietra, 1900s– ossetr, 1900s– ossetra, 1900s– ossiotra, 2000s– osciotr.

Origin: A borrowing from Russian. Etymon: Russian osëtr.

Etymology: < Russian osëtr (12th cent. in Old Russian), probably < the same base as ostryj sharp (see ostrog n.), with reference either to the elongated shape of the fish or to its sharp fins. The semantic element ‘sharp’ also occurs in the cognate Lithuanian forms ašėtras (compare aštrus sharp), eršket(r)as (compare erškėtis blackthorn), and in the scientific Latin acipenser acipenser n.The Germanic base of sturgeon n. was perhaps an early loan from the Slavonic and Baltic base of osëtr . A number of the forms (e.g. assotra , ossiotra ) perhaps attempt to represent orthographically the Russian pronunciation /aˈsjotr/; compare common English pronunciations of e.g. French notre with final /-trə/. However, the forms in -tra (especially the early assotra ) could also represent Russian regional osëtra , feminine, rather then the masculine osëtr , and some later quots. in the sense ‘caviar’ perhaps represent Russian osetra ( /əsjiˈtra/), genitive singular of osëtr (in ikra osetra caviar of the osetr: compare osetrova n.). N.E.D. (1903) enters this under osseter and gives the pronunciation as (ose·təɹ) /əʊˈsɛtə(r)/.

The Russian sturgeon, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, found in the basins of the Caspian Sea, the Sea of Azov, and the Black Sea, and fished as a source of caviar. Also: a medium-grade, golden-brown caviar from the roe of this fish (cf. osetrova n.).
