Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.       carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from       its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;       or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. {Shark}, v. t. & i.);       cf.

Most of them are harmless to man, but some are                exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly                belong to the genera {Carcharhinus}, {Carcharodon}, and                related genera.
