Engraulis

/ɛnˈɡrɔːlɪs/ noun

Definition

A genus of small, silvery fish commonly known as anchovies, found in oceans worldwide.

Etymology

From Greek engraulis, an ancient Greek term for anchovy fish, likely referencing their small, slender shape and tendency to school in large numbers.

Kelly Says

The word 'engraulis' comes directly from ancient Greek, meaning the Romans and Greeks were already eating anchovies over 2,000 years ago—these tiny fish have been a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine for millennia.
