"Catadromous" is a word in ENGLISH
Living in fresh water, and going to the sea to spawn;
-- opposed to anadromous, and said of the eel.
Having the lowest inferior segment of a pinna nearer
the rachis than the lowest superior one; -- said of a mode of branching
in ferns, and opposed to anadromous.
The rain spun in the yellow arc lights over the café parking lot. It was empty inside, except for a fat Negro woman whom I could see through the service window in the kitchen, and a pretty, redheaded waitress in her early twenties, dressed in a pink uniform with her hair tied up on her freckled neck. She was obviously tired, but she was polite and smiled at me when she took my order, and I felt a sense of guilt, almost shame, at my susceptibility and easy fondness for a young woman's smile. Because if you're forty-nine and unmarried or a widower or if you've simply chosen to live alone, you're easily flattered by a young woman's seeming attention to you, and you forget that it is often simply a deference to your age.
