Etymology of POMATOMUS

The word "pomatomus" is derived from Ancient Greek. It comes from the combination of two Greek words - "poma", meaning "cover" or "lid", and "tomos", meaning "cutting" or "section". These words were compounded to create the word "pomatomos" (πομάτομος), which referred to a fish that had a sharply cutting mouth or jaw-like lid. Over time, the word evolved and was later Latinized to "pomatomus".
