Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryAny of several fish of the family Sparidae of seabreams. · In particular, the scup (paugie, Stenotomus chrysops).
From Portuguese or Spanish pargo, from Latin phagrum, accusative of phager, from Ancient Greek φάγρος (phágros, “sea bream”). The similarity of porgy to paugie, especially in non-rhotic accents, may have reinforced both terms.
