Frisk Etymological English
-ίδος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: name of a small fish, resembling the μαινίς, Sparus smaris (Epich., Arist., Opp., Marc. Sid. a.o.; s. Thompson Fishes s.v.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Origin unknown; certainly a Mediterranean word. Against connection with σμηρίζειν plane (Hero; Strömberg 87) speaks the almost general shortness of the α (α only Marc. Sid.). -- Furnée 226 compares σπάρος a small sea-fish, a kind of bream; the comparison is convincing; so Pre-Greek.

Meaning: N. eines kleinen Fisches, der der μαινίς ähnelt, Sparus smaris (Epich., Arist., Opp., Marc. Sid. u.a.; s. Thompson Fishes s.v.).
