Word origin
The word 'eelpout' originated from the Middle Low German word 'pūt,' which means 'toad.' It was first used in the 19th century to describe the fish that resembles an eel. Eelpouts have been a subject of interest for marine biologists due to their unique adaptations to deep-sea environments.
