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

Etymology: < Old Russian běluga the great sturgeon (although this is first attested slightly later: 1599 or earlier), white whale (a1599 or earlier; Russian beluga ) < bělyj white + -uga suffix forming nouns. Compare later whitefish n. 2 and white whale n. (a) at white adj. and n. Compounds 1f.Earlier currency of the Old Russian word is implied by post-classical Latin beluga the great sturgeon (1526). Compare also Russian beluxa, now the usual word for the white whale (a1599 or earlier in Old Russian, perhaps with reference to the sturgeon; 18th cent. or earlier of the white whale), a parallel formation < the same adjective with a different suffix. Compare occasional attestations of the form belukha in English:1994 A. Fienup-Riordan Boundaries & Passages 111 People believed that belukha whales could transform themselves into wolves and attack unwary persons.

a. The great sturgeon or hausen, Huso huso, a very large predatory fish found mainly in the Caspian and Black Seas and their tributary rivers. More fully beluga sturgeon.The beluga, the largest species of fish found in fresh water, has been extensively caught for its roe (caviar) and is now regarded as an endangered species.
