anjovis

Finnish

Etymology

Most likely from German Anchosen, a term for pickling and canning sprats.[1]

Noun

anjovis

  1. pickled sprat
  2. sprat (any various small marine fish)

Usage notes

The word anjovis is a false friend of anchovy, which is sardelli in Finnish. However anjovis is often erroneously used to refer to Engraulis encrasicolus.
