Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    A large pelagic predatory shark, Lamna nasus, of the Atlantic.

    "In English waters, the porbeagle is considered the premier shark to catch, but in other parts of the world it is considered a nuisance, or at best a poor substitute for its more glamorous relative, the mako."

  2. 2
    voracious pointed-nose shark of northern Atlantic and Pacific wordnet

Etymology

Unclear, but likely from Cornish porth (“harbor”) + bugel (“shepherd”), with the latter element either influenced by English beagle or in fact formed from it, with only the first element truly being from Cornish.
