gar
English
Pronunciation
- (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /???/
- (General American) IPA(key): /???/
- Rhymes: -??(?)
Etymology 1
From Middle English gar, gare, gere, gore, from Old English g?r (“spear, dart, javelin, shaft, arrow, weapon, arms”), from Proto-Germanic *gaizaz (“spear, pike, javelin”), from Proto-Indo-European *??ayso- (“pointed stick, spear”), from *??ey- (“to drive, move, fling”). Cognate with West Frisian gear, Dutch geer (“pointed weapon, spear”), German Ger (“spear”), Norwegian geir (“spear”), Icelandic geir (“spear”). Related to gore.
Alternative forms
- gore (dialectal)
Noun
gar (plural gars)
- (obsolete) A spear.
Etymology 2
Clipping of garfish.
Noun
gar (plural gars)
- (especially US, Canada) Any of several North American fish of the family Lepisosteidae that have long, narrow jaws.
- (especially Britain, Ireland) A garfish, Belone belone.
Usage notes
- The European species was the original gar, and the North American gars were named after it, with other common names also shared between the two. In modern usage an attempt has been made to restrict "gar" to the North American fish and "garfish" to the European ones, but both names can be found for both types. Context can help: the North American gars are freshwater fish of a very primitive type, while the European gars are saltwater fish known for their green bones and their association with mackerel in folklore.
