[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. Perhaps from Arabic,[1] but most likely from a substrate language, as many fish and crustaceans names. Potential Latin roots include necō, necāre meaning "to kill." Necor is the first-person singular present passive indicative of necō "I am killed, I am murdered" (figuratively) "I am thwarted, I am checked."
