Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗Any one of several species of food fishes that make up the genus Alosa in the family Clupeidae, to which the herrings also belong; river herring. · Any bluefish of the species Pomatomus saltatrix.
From Middle English shadde, from Old English sċeadd, of uncertain origin. Compare Low German Schade (“shad, herring”), Scottish Gaelic sgadan (“herring”), Welsh ysgadan. Possibly from Scandinavian/North Germanic (compare dialectal Norwegian skadd (“small whitefish”), Old Norse skata (“kind of fish”)), but the order of borrowing is unclear and the ultimate origin of these words is obscure.
