A subfamily of freshwater fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, or a biochemical compound related to or derived from carp.
From Cyprinidae (family name) plus -inae/-nin suffix, used to create subfamily names in taxonomic classification.
Cypress and cyprinid names sound similar but are completely unrelated—one is a tree from Mediterranean regions, the other is a fish family—yet both got their names from regions or sources entirely disconnected from the original Cyprus.
