From red +‎ horse. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Why? It's a fish, not a horse, and doesn't look red.”)

Noun

edit

redhorse (plural redhorses)

  1. Any of various ray-finned fish in the genus Moxostoma.
    • 2017, Vance Randolph, Robert Cochran, The Ozarks: An American Survival of Primitive Society, page 235:
      Another thing: most native Ozarkers actually prefer suckers to either bass or trout, and will regularly pass up game fish in order to strike at a big redhorse or hogmolly!
