Origin of Assfish

Origin 1: From ass +‎ fish, probably from a mistranslation of onus in the genus name Acanthonus, which is from Ancient Greek ἄκανθος (ákanthos, “acanthus”, literally “prickly flower”) + ὄνος (ónos, “hake”): the latter word can mean either an ass (donkey) or less commonly a type of fish.[1]

Origin 2: This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. Particularly: “only explains the Acanthonus sense”
