Etymology of GEMPYLUS SERPENS

The word "Gempylus Serpens" is not a single word with its own etymology. It consists of two separate words: "Gempylus" and "Serpens" from the Latin language.

1. Gempylus: The word "Gempylus" is derived from the Latin term "gemplum", meaning "tight, united". It was used to refer to a type of fish that has a long, slender body. This Latin term was later adopted into the scientific naming system known as binomial nomenclature, which is used in the classification of living organisms. In this system, the genus name (e.g., Gempylus) is the first part of the scientific name.
