Remarks | 'Brochet' from Latin slang 'brocca', feminine substantive of 'brochus' = projecting, pointed, 'broche', 'brochet' for its pointed snout (p. 112 in Ref. 9404, see also 'gade' and 'morue'); 'vermicule', i.e., worm-like, from Latin 'vermis, vermiculatus, -culus' (p. 2079 in Ref. 11853). Refers to Esox americanus vermiculatus. |
