Description
Carping – Two Koi carp seen from above swimming around one another with the scene framed by a broken rectangular black line.
According to ETYMONLINE, the word ‘carping’ is traced back to the 1400s, when it meant talkativeness, as in foolish talk, and only in the 1500s did it mature into the meaning of unreasonable criticism or censure.
What these two fish are doing is something else, the word carp is of Germanic origin, as the fish was introduced into the English speaking world from the Danube.
