The Spanish word 'corvina', which refers to a type of fish (specifically various species of croaker or drum fish), comes from the Latin word 'corvinus' meaning 'raven-like'. The Latin 'corvinus' itself is formed from two parts: the noun 'corvus' meaning 'raven or crow', and the suffix '-inus' meaning 'related to' or 'having the characteristics of'. The fish likely got this name because of its dark coloring, which reminded people of a raven's feathers.

In Spanish, there are a few related bird words that share this etymology, such as 'cuervo' (meaning 'crow' or 'raven'), which comes directly from the Latin 'corvus'. While 'corvina' refers to a fish and 'cuervo' refers to a bird, they both trace back to the same Latin root word referring to ravens.

In English, while we don't have many common words directly from 'corvus', the scientific family name for crows and ravens is 'Corvidae', and these birds are often referred to as 'corvids' in scientific contexts. These terms share the same Latin ancestor 'corvus' with the Spanish 'corvina'. The English word 'corvine', meaning 'crow-like' or 'raven-like', is also directly related, coming from the same Latin 'corvinus'.
