A scientific family classification for certain squid species, used in biological taxonomy.
Modern scientific Latin using 'calamari' (squid) as a root with the suffix '-aceae' which denotes a family in biological classification. This represents the standardized Linnaean naming system developed in the 18th century for organizing living things.
