A pointed weapon with multiple prongs or barbs, designed specifically for catching or hunting fish in water.
From Old English 'fisc' + 'spear' from Old English 'spere' (Germanic origin). This tool appears in archaeological records dating back thousands of years.
Fishspearing with torchlight at night—called 'torch fishing'—became such a popular colonial American activity that it was eventually restricted by law to preserve fish populations.
