Word origin

The word 'merluza' comes from the Spanish language, where it refers to hake, a fish common in the Mediterranean and Atlantic seas. The term likely originates from the Latin word 'merluccius,' which is derived from the Latin 'merx,' meaning 'merchandise' or 'goods.' This reflects the importance of hake as a commercially valuable fish. The etymology also suggests a connection to the idea of fishing as a trade activity, highlighting the significance of this species in local economies and cultures along coastal regions. Over time, 'merluza' has become a staple in various cuisines, especially in Spanish-speaking countries, where it is often featured in traditional dishes and seafood recipes.
