Cigarfish

/ˈsɪɡɑːrfɪʃ/ noun

Definition

A small, elongated marine fish that resembles a cigar in shape.

Etymology

Compound word from cigar (referring to its shape) plus fish; named descriptively for its long, thin, cylindrical body.

Kelly Says

Marine biologists often name fish based on what they look like—cigarfish, trumpetfish, and horseshoe crabs are all examples of creatures whose names came from observers just describing their obvious physical features.
