The word "trout" traces back to Old English truht, borrowed from Late Latin trocta (likely referring to a type of fish with sharp teeth). Its deeper roots may connect to Greek trōktēs ("gnawer"), from trōgein ("to gnaw"), hinting at the fish's predatory nature. The word's form has remained remarkably stable across Germanic and Romance languages, reflecting its ancient aquatic heritage.
