EtymologyEdit
/anɡoː/ → /ankoː/
Unknown.
Various theories of the origin of あんこう (ankō) exist, such as from あんぐり (anguri) or あぐり (aguri, “agape, with one's mouth wide open”),[1][2] perhaps related to Korean 아귀 (agwi, “anglerfish”). The kanji spelling is an Edo-period coinage, found for example in the 1709 biology text 大和本草 (Yamato Honzō, “Japanese Biology”), formed from earlier ateji (当て字) 安康 (ankō) by adding the 魚 (“fish”) radical to each of the ateji characters. The current 鮟鱇 form has replaced the earlier 安康 form.

Usage notesEdit
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts, as アンコウ.
