requiemn.2

Brit. /ˈrɛkwɪəm/, /ˈrɛkwɪɛm/, U.S. /ˈrɛkwiəm/, /ˈreɪkwiəm/
Forms: 1600s– requiem, 1700s requien, 1800s requin.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French requin, requien, requiem.
Etymology: < French requin (1539 in Middle French), requien (1578), requiem (1658 in the passage translated in quot. 16661), of uncertain origin; it has been suggested that the second element may show French regional (northern) quin , variant of chien dog (compare chien de mer dogfish n.), but this explanation poses difficulties. The form requiem probably results from folk-etymological association with requiem requiem n.1, a person taken by the shark being taken to be as good as dead. Compare Portuguese requeime (of uncertain date and origin).
A large or dangerous shark; (Zoology) (more fully requiem shark) a member of the family Carcharhinidae, which includes many of the typical large and medium-sized sharks (as the tiger, bull, blue, and reef sharks) and the hammerheads.
