fish

Aquarium's main attraction

Whether swimming in a river or served up on a dinner plate, fish is the term for vertebrate creatures that have gills, are cold-blooded, and live in water.

Informal and slang meanings of fish a person born under the sign of Pisces and a card game.

As a verb, fish denotes the activity of trying to catch fish.

By extension, fish is applied to activities in which bait or lure is offered in the hope of attracting something sought after: fishing for compliments.

A fish out of water is someone in a situation where they feel alienated and without bearings.
