mermaid's

Fish-tailed woman's

Mermaid's is the possessive form of mermaid, the mythical sea creature with a woman's upper body and a fish's tail.

It appears in compound names for marine life and coastal plants: mermaid's purse (the leathery egg case of sharks and rays), mermaid's hair (a type of green seaweed).

The mermaid's song lured sailors toward the rocks.
