Definitions

  1. voracious pointed-nose shark of northern Atlantic and Pacific

Word origin

Unclear, but likely from Cornish porth (“harbor”) + bugel (“shepherd”), with the latter element either influenced by English beagle or in fact formed from it, with only the first element truly being from Cornish.

Used in a sentence

  • In English waters, the porbeagle is considered the premier shark to catch, but in other parts of the world it is considered a nuisance, or at best a poor substitute for its more glamorous relative, the mako.
