Etymology: Trimma: Greek, trimma, -atos = something crushed (Ref. 45335);  pentherum: Name from Greek 'pentheros' meaning 'of mourning', apparently alluding to the black bar on the pectoral-fin base which, with considerable imagination, could be viewed as analogous to the black arm band worn to signify the death of a close friend or relative in certain cultures..
