/rᵻˈmɔːrə/, U.S.

/ˈrɛmərə/

Inflections: Plural remoras, remora, (rare) remorae.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin remora.

Etymology: < classical Latin remora delay, hindrance, in post-classical Latin also denoting the fish called ἐχενηΐς by the Greeks (4th cent.; 1535, 1620 in British sources; < re- re- prefix + mora delay: see mora n.¹), apparently so called from the former belief that the fish hindered the progress of ships (see note at sense 1a). Compare Middle French, French rémora , †rémore kind of fish (1562), delay, hindrance (c1610), Spanish rémora kind of fish (16th cent.), Portuguese rêmora kind of fish (1624), Italian remora kind of fish (1476), delay, hindrance (a1574). Compare earlier echeneis n.Classical Latin remora denoting the fish also occurs in older editions of Pliny Nat. Hist. 32. 1 (compare quot. 1601 at sense 1a), where modern editions read mora. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (re·mŏră) /ˈrɛmərə/.

a. Any of various slender marine fishes of the family Echeneidae, which have the dorsal fin modified to form a large oval suction disc for attachment to the undersides of sharks, other large fishes, cetaceans, and turtles. Also called sharksucker, suckerfish, suckingfish. Cf. echeneis n.Remoras act as cleaners on their hosts and also feed on leftover food fragments. They were formerly believed to hinder the progress of sailing ships to which they attached themselves.
