Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Phoca , -ine suffix¹.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Phoca, genus name (see phoca n.) + -ine suffix¹. In current zoological use after scientific Latin Phocinae, subfamily name (1866 or earlier). Compare post-classical Latin phocinus of a seal (12th cent. in a British source as focinus).

A. adj.

Of, relating to, or characteristic of a seal; (Zoology) of or relating to the subfamily Phocinae, comprising Phoca and the other northern phocid genera.
