South African spelling variant of geelbec; a type of marine fish found in South African coastal waters.
From Dutch 'geel' (yellow) and 'bek' (beak), with 'geelbek' being the standard Afrikaans spelling of the term.
Afrikaans spelling conventions use 'ek' at the end differently than English—'geelbek' shows how the same Dutch roots were standardized differently across Afrikaans and English, creating three different 'correct' spellings.
