Etymology
About
鲾 is a noun for a small fish known as the ponyfish or slipmouth, and serves as the simplified form of the traditional character 鰏. It is structured with the semantic radical 鱼 (fish) on the left and the phonetic component 畐 on the right, which indicates the pronunciation. The simplification only reduced the left radical from 魚 to 鱼, leaving the phonetic 畐 identical.
