覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
haddock は北大西洋産のタラ科の食用魚で、料理では grilled haddock、smoked haddock、fresh haddock の形が典型です。cod もタラ科ですが別種なので、「市場や献立で見かける、燻製にもよく使う白身魚」と場面で区別します。通常、食材名では不可算的に使えます。
Remember haddock as a North Atlantic white fish commonly seen on menus and at fish markets. Build the memory around grilled haddock, fresh haddock, and especially smoked haddock, a familiar ingredient in several traditional dishes. It belongs to the cod family, but haddock and cod are different fish, so treat cod as a useful comparison rather than an exact synonym. Like many food names, haddock can refer either to the fish itself or to its flesh served as food, often without an article in menu descriptions.

haddock の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語でタラ類を指す「had」に小型化の接尾辞「-ock」が結合し、「小さなタラ」が原義です。この接尾辞は「hillock（小さな丘）」や「bullock（子牛）」にも共通し、ハドックが同属魚より小振りで名付けられた背景が納得できます。
Haddock entered English in the Middle English period, with forms such as haddok. It has traditionally been analyzed as an older element had combined with the diminutive suffix -ock, also seen in words such as hillock. On that analysis, the name originally suggested a smaller cod-like fish. The deeper origin of the first element is not securely established, so further root claims should be treated cautiously.
