Definition

A marine fish with broad, wing-like pectoral fins that allow it to glide over the water surface for significant distances.

Etymology

Originates from Indonesian itself, possibly from the word 'torani' which is an onomatopoeia or local name for the flying fish. This word has long been used in the archipelago's fishing tradition without significant semantic change.
