单词 cackerel
释义

cackereln.

/ˈkakərəl/
Forms: Also 1600s cackarel, cackrel.
Etymology: < obsolete French caquerel (also cagarel , cagaret ) Cotgrave, < Provençal cagarel , cagarello (also, according to Duhamel, gagarel , whence Cuvier's specific name gagarella ); apparently < Provençal cagar < Latin cacāre (see cack v.), with which the name is popularly associated. (Variously etymologized as ‘a fish which voids excrements when pursued’ or ‘which when eaten relaxes the bowels’; M. Paul Meyer suggests that the name is merely one of contempt = ‘méchant petit poisson’, ‘poisson chétif’. The allied Mæna is now in Provençal picarel, diminutive of picaro ‘rogue, rascal’.)
? Obsolete.
1. A small fish of the Mediterranean: the name is applied by the fishermen of Marseilles and Toulon to Smaris gagarella (Cuvier), and perhaps to other similar species of the same genus of small sea-breams. Early writers used the word to english Pliny's mæna ‘a kind of small sea-fish, eaten salted by the poor’, now the name of a genus closely akin to Smaris.
