Inflections: Plural unchanged, picarels.

Forms: 1600s picarell, 1600s– picarel.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French picarel.

Etymology: < French picarel (1558) < Occitan †picarel (1554 in a Latin context; now picarèl ) < picar to prick, pierce (see pick v.¹) + -el -el suffix², the fish being so called either because it is skewered to dry, or perhaps on account of its piquant taste (compare quot. ?a1808).pickerel n.¹ is unrelated.

Any of several small marine fishes of the family Centracanthidae (or Maenidae, Emmelichthyidae), found chiefly in the eastern Atlantic; esp. either of two fishes of the genus Spicara (also called Maena), S. smaris and (more fully blotched picarel) S. maena, which also occur in the Mediterranean and have variable coloration with a black patch on the side.
