means A fishing boat is a vessel built or used for catching fish, ranging from a one-person dinghy to an industrial trawler.
from A plain English compound, simply 'fishing' plus 'boat.' 'Fish' descends from Old English 'fisc,' shared across the Germanic languages (German 'Fisch,' Dutch 'vis') and reaching back to a Proto-Indo-European root for the creature. 'Boat' comes from Old English 'bat,' a word so old and so essential that it spread outward into other tongues rather than borrowing in — the French 'bateau,' for instance, is thought to be a loan from this Germanic source. So the word is two of the oldest, most weathered nouns in the language, lashed together to name exactly what it is.
