鰻

⟨munaɡi₁⟩ → /munaɡi/
From Old Japanese, first attested in the Man'yōshū (c. 759 CE).
Speculatively, might be from 身 (mu, “body”, ancient compounding form of modern mi) + 長 (nagi, “long”, irregular shift from expected reading naga). However, the naga → nagi shift is otherwise unattested.

elver

Variant of eelfare, originally "brood of young eels", from Middle English *elfare, *elvare, from el (“eel”) + fare (“group of journeyers”). Equivalent to eel + fare.
Liberman instead connects the second element of this word to a putative Old English suffix *-for(e), but there is no need to posit such a suffix when the traditional etymology suffices. Furthermore, such a suffix is not securely attested, and the spelling of the word's earliest attestation (as yele fare, ell vare) implies Middle English /aː/.

af

When these glass eels enter freshwater they transform again into elvers – miniature versions of the adult eels.

grig

Troilus and Cressida
William Shakespeare

The word is often used in the phrase "merry as a grig". The word is of uncertain origin, though various theories have been suggested, such as a corruption of "merry as a cricket" or "merry as a Greek", as in William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida: "Then she's a merry Greek indeed." Johnson suggested that the word originally meant "anything below the natural size" (compare Swedish krik and Scots crick).

The black rooks will fly away, my son, and you'll come back as brown as a berry, and as merry as a grig.

1926, Hope Mirrlees, chapter 5, in Lud-in-the-Mist:

[W]e assembled at one o'clock, at two sat down to dinner, consisting of capital stewed grigs, a dish Mrs Burt was famous for dressing, a large joint of roast or boiled meat, with proper vegetables and a good-sized pudding or pie […] .

1808–10, William Hickey, Memoirs of a Georgian Rake, Folio Society 1995, p. 41

Specifically, the broad-nosed eel. See glut.


grig

The further method of tillage pursued, was to make fallows; and if the season permitted, so that the ground could be cleared and burnt off, to destroy the grig or heath, […]

장어

Sino-Korean word from 長 (“long”) + 魚 (“fish”).


spitchcock

American Journal of Philology
Johns Hopkins University Press

The noun is derived from Middle English spiche-coke (“eel split lengthwise and broiled”). The further etymology is uncertain; the following possibilities have been suggested:
* From Middle English *speche, *spiche (“to split”) + cock, coken (“to allow (something) to cook; to cook”) (from cok (“person who cooks food, cook”), from Old English cōc (“a cook”)).
* From spik (“animal fat, especially lard”) (from Old English spiċ (“bacon; lard”)), spik, spike (“large nail; pointed stud”) (possibly from Old Norse spík, spíkr (“nail”)), or spit, spite (“rod for cooking meat, spit; pointed object”) (from Old English spitu, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *spey- (“sharp point; stick”)) + cok (“male of the common domestic fowl, cock, rooster”) (from Old English coc, cocc).
The verb is probably derived from the noun.

The great ugly sharky fish was hooked forward by Josh and placed in a great basket, where it lay writhing its eely tail, and flapping its wing-like fins as the boat slowly progressed, and bait after bait was replaced, many being untouched, the thornback, skate, or ray being the only fish taken.

That was a great long eely thing; but Joe Cross here says this was more like a great turtle, with flippers and a long neck, and a head like a snake."

1904, George Manville Fenn, The Ocean Cat's Paw:

Any eely creature that manages to blow itself up from “Pink, lank and warm” to a long wiener doing the hula tends to seize the imagination of us moderns.

Veteran alto saxist Lou Donaldson faces the audience with a raised eyebrow and a toothy grin, and his horn's high-pitched, eely timbre--which still has plenty of the grease that made him a soul-jazz hero in the 60s and 70s--complements his squeaky voice.

The conger invited a shell-fish home for a dinner and to rest in bed, but it did not promise: "it is not easy for me to bare myself and to go to bed, although I would enjoy the dinner." And willing to show that it is difficult for it to bare itself, it slightly loosened its shell, and [the conger] caught it and ate.
