释义 | cuttlen.1 a. (a) A cephalopod of the genus Sepia or family Sepiidæ, esp. the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, also called ink-fish from its power of ejecting a black fluid from a bag or sac, so as to darken the water and conceal itself from pursuit. Thence the name is extended to other decapod, and sometimes even to octopod, cephalopods.
