Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish bonito.
Etymology: < Spanish bonito (1505), apparently a specific use as noun of bonito pretty (15th cent.; < bueno good (see bona adj.) + -ito , diminutive suffix: see -et suffix1), with reference to the fish's attractive appearance (it has gold-coloured eyes and a silver-coloured belly).Compare Middle French, French bonite (c1525; via Italian), Catalan bonítol (14th cent.; with excrescent l ), Portuguese bonito (1557), Italian †bonita (1520), †bonitto (1582), all nouns denoting the fish, apparently all < Spanish. The α. forms appear to reflect uncertainty about the quality of unstressed final vowels in Romance loanwords; compare discussion at -ado suffix.
Any of several medium-sized, tuna-like fishes of the family Scombridae; esp. Sarda sarda of the Atlantic, which has dark oblique stripes on the back and is important as a food and game fish. Also (more fully striped bonito, oceanic bonito): the skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis.
