Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryAn edible fish, Thyrsites atun, native to South African (Cape), South American and Australian waters, often smoked or salted. · The queen mackerel, Scomberomorus lineolatus. · Any of several species of barracuda.
Borrowed from Afrikaans snoek, from Dutch snoek, from Middle Dutch snoec, from Old Dutch *snuoc. Some senses come from or are influenced by Dutch zeesnoek (“barracuda”, literally “sea pike”), a word that Van Riebeeck applied to the Thyrsites atun. Doublet of snook and possibly a distant doublet of snake.
