Definition
A small freshwater fish with a checkered pattern on its belly or underside.
Etymology
From 'checker' (checkered pattern) and 'belly' (underside). A descriptive common name used since at least the 19th century for fish with distinctive abdominal markings.
Kelly Says
This is a folk taxonomy name—regular people naming animals before scientists gave them Latin names—and it tells you exactly what to look for when identifying the fish.
