Dolphin
The root word of "dolphin" is likely the Latin word "delphinus," derived from the Greek word "delphis," both meaning "dolphin."
Tuteledge: Stems from the word Tuturoli, also another word for the dorsal fin of the Blue Dolphin.
Cetus = whale/dolphin/porpoise. The Romans did not differentiate
The word I think you mean is dolphin, but the average life expectancy of a bottlenose dolphin is 40-50 years. But, there is the chance if the dolphin isn't malnourished it can life longer.
It's a noun.
a Pantropical dolphin is really active because it is a dolphin.

The noun 'dolphin' is a word for a type of sea mammal, a word for a thing.
Dolphin is derived from the the Greek word for dolphin, dolphis, which was derived from the Greek word for womb, delphus. The animals name can then be translated as meaning "a 'fish' with a womb." Of course, we are talking about a marine mammal and not a fish.
Me, no. I do not believe in eating dolphins. -------------------------------------------------------- Me...yes indeed! If by dolphin you really mean porpoise, then the answer is obviously, No. Porpoises are mammals and the commercial bycatch must be returned to the sea. "Dolphins" on the other hand are great game fish and superb table fare. If you've ever ordered "Mahi-Mahi" in a restaurant then you too have eaten dolphin. "Mahi-Mahi" is the Hawaiian word for "dolphin", the name that American restaurants now prefer to use instead of 'Dolphin', to avoid confusion with the mammal. Roger Felber
