clupea
See also: Clupea
Latin
Etymology 1
Unknown.[1] Found in Ancient Greek as κλουπαĩα (kloupaĩa), κλουπĺας (kloupĺas).[2] According to Etimo, of Celtic, specifically Gaulish origin, but it doesn't list any Celtic cognates. This would tentatively be from a Proto-Celtic *kluppā (“small fish”) (feminine noun), of obscure ultimate origin. Not related to clupeus (“shield”), but perhaps influenced by it.[3]
