"etymology_text": "The noun is derived from Late Middle English meneu, menowe (“small fish; (specifically) common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus); or stickleback (possibly the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus)”), probably from Old English *mynwe, an oblique form of *mynu, a variant of myne (“minnow; small fish”), from Proto-West Germanic *muniwu (“minnow; small fish”), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“small”), possibly influenced by Anglo-Norman menu (“minnow; small”) and Old French menu (“small”), and English minim (“anything very minute; applied to animalcula and the like”).\nThe adjective and verb are derived from the noun.\ncognates\n* Middle Low German mone, möne (Dutch meun, West Frisian meun)\n* Old High German muniwa, munuwa, munewa (modern German Münne (“minnow”))",

Some possess barbels on their upper jaw, and many species develop nuptial tubercles during the breeding season. […] Minnows are arguably the most difficult group of freshwater fishes to identify, in part because they are often small and thus the characters distinguishing them are correspondingly small.",

Some possess barbels on their upper jaw, and many species develop nuptial tubercles during the breeding season.
