覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
red「赤い」+fin「ひれ」の透明な複合語で、赤みのあるひれを特徴とする魚を表す。ここでは企業名ではなく、オーストラリアの川や湖で釣られる淡水魚の語義。redfin perch とも呼ばれる魚を思い浮かべ、anglers、rivers and lakes、freshwater fish と結び付ける。
The structure gives the meaning directly: red plus fin describes a fish with noticeably reddish or orange fins. In the Australian context, redfin commonly refers to the introduced European perch and may also appear as redfin perch. Picture anglers catching this colorful freshwater fish in rivers and lakes. The combinations redfin fishing, catch a redfin, and redfin in Australian waterways reinforce the intended fish sense. A capitalized Redfin can be a company name, but the lowercase word and these fishing contexts point to the animal.

redfin の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語の red(赤い)と fin(ひれ)からなる記述的な複合語で、赤みを帯びたひれを持つ魚を表します。オーストラリアでは、移入されたヨーロピアンパーチ(redfin perch)を指すことが多い語です。
Redfin is an English compound of red and fin, originally a descriptive name for fish distinguished by reddish fins. In Australian usage, it commonly denotes the European perch, Perca fluviatilis, which was introduced there and is also called redfin perch. The same transparent compound can be applied to other fish in regional naming. Redfin with an initial capital is also used as a brand name, but that is separate from the fish sense illustrated here.
