Etymology: "Garfishs" is the plural of "garfish," so it is an inflected form. Garfish is the name for a long, slender, needle-jawed fish of the family Belonidae, and its name comes from "gar," an Old English word for a spear, plus "fish." The fish was named for its spear-like body and sharp, beaked jaws. The plural is normally "garfish," though "garfishs" is occasionally seen.
