the.com/fisherman
a person who lies about size for a living and calls it patience.
means A person who catches fish, whether for a living, for food, or for the simple pleasure of sitting by water with a line in hand.
from A plain old English compound that means exactly what it says: 'fisher' (one who fishes, from Old English 'fiscere') plus 'man.' The root 'fish' goes all the way back to Old English 'fisc' and has cousins across the Germanic languages — German 'Fisch,' Dutch 'vis' — all reaching toward the same ancient word for the slippery things in the water. 'Fisher' alone is the older term; the longer 'fisherman' grew up later, once English had a habit of bolting '-man' onto trades.
