fishlore

Where it comes from

From fish + lore.

noun fish-lore · fish lore

  1. uncountable The knowledge, stories, and traditions associated with angling or fishing. Another index renders all this fishlore at once accessible to the angler.
  2. uncountable The knowledge, science, or study of fish; ichthyology. I have already mentioned that these fish seem capable of actually breathing atmospheric air, but what the eggs should want with air, and compressed air at that, I leave others better versed in fishlore to explain.
