Definition
Relating to or resembling a coelacanth, an ancient fish with a distinctive hollow spine and fleshy fins.
Etymology
From coelacanth (Greek koilos 'hollow' + akantha 'spine') plus the English adjectival suffix -ine. The term emerged in the 19th century as scientists studied this 'living fossil' fish rediscovered off Africa.
Kelly Says
Coelacanths were thought extinct for 66 million years until a fisherman caught one alive in 1938—imagine finding a dinosaur-era fish swimming in modern oceans! The 'hollow spine' in their name refers to their unique vertebral structure that no other living fish shares.
