Definition
Plural of fisher; people who catch fish professionally or as a livelihood.
Etymology
Simple plural of 'fisher' (Old English 'fiscere', from 'fisc' meaning fish and the agent suffix '-ere'). One of the oldest occupational titles in English, appearing in place names and documents since medieval times.
Kelly Says
The surname 'Fisher' is one of England's oldest occupational surnames, but it's a palimpsest of status — 'Fisher' often meant someone poor who fished illegally in others' waters, while 'Fisher the Great' meant someone who owned fishing rights, showing how the same word encoded both freedom and imprisonment.
