Fischer

Rhymes with -ɪʃə(ɹ)

Where it comes from

Borrowed from German Fischer (“fisherman”). Doublet of Fisher and Fisker

proper noun Fischers

A surname from German [in turn originating as an occupation], equivalent to English Fisher. An athletic kid from New Jersey, Fischer was known as a bold risk taker — they called him “the fallingest man in climbing” — until an old-school cragger taught him the Zen of controlled ascent.
