lotte

/lɔt/

noun, feminine/lɔt/plural: lottes

burbot (a freshwater fish, Lota lota); the tail meat of an anglerfish (a marine fish, Lophius piscatorius)

Probably of pre-Roman origin, perhaps from Gaulish *lotta, which would explain the preserved -t in French. Of obscure ultimate origin, with no known Celtic cognates of the Gaulish word.
