Remarks | "Dory (also dorye), is a medieval word that describes something bright yellow or something glazed with 'almond milk', 'endored'. The English word comes from the French doré, which in turns comes from the Latin deaurare, to gild or golden". Name used for a juvenile female of this species in a popular Walt Disney movie 'Searching Nemo' in 2003. |
