A type of fish, possibly named for its egg-like appearance or egg-producing qualities.
From 'egg' + 'fish', likely combining the two words to describe a species with characteristics related to eggs, though the exact origins and scientific classification are unclear.
Marine biologists use descriptive common names like 'eggfish' for species before they're formally classified, and these names sometimes stick even after scientific identification—preserving folk observations in scientific terminology.
