Etymology 2

From Middle English cod, codde, of uncertain origin:

• Oldest English form cotfich as a surname in the 13th century; for more see cot (“chamber, cottage”).
• Same as Etymology 1, above; a bag or pouch, related to its bloated shape.
• From Latin gadus, from Ancient Greek ????? (gádos, “fish”) with a possible pre-Greek or Semitic origin; for more see Atargatis, Cetus, and ????? (kêtos).

Noun

cod (usually uncountable, plural cod or cods)

1. The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua.
2. The sea fish of the genus Gadus generally, as inclusive of the Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and Greenland cod (Gadus ogac or Gadus macrocephalus ogac).
3. The sea fish of the family Gadidae which are sold as "cod", as haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and whiting (usually Merlangius merlangus).
4. (informal, usually with qualifiers) Other unrelated fish which are similarly important to regional fisheries, as the hapuku and cultus cod.
5. (informal, usually with qualifiers) Other unrelated fish which resemble the Atlantic cod, as the rock cod (Lotella rhacina) and blue cod (Parapercis colias).

Usage notes

The term Atlantic cod is now used where it is desired to distinguish the other members of Gadus or the Gadidae. Similar qualifiers are used to distinguish the other members, as well as the unrelated fish in the term's other senses. The plural form cod has become more common than the form cods.
