鯣烏賊 (surume ika): the Japanese flying squid set out for drying, after gutting, cleaning, and butterflying.

Etymology[edit]

Compound of (surume, squid used for drying) +‎ 烏賊 (ika, squid).

After the sense of (surume) shifted from "type of squid used for drying" to refer more to the end product in the early 1300s,[1] this term surume ika arose to refer unambiguously to the squid rather than the product. First attested in 1787.[2]
