EN: fisherman
The OG provider of your sinigang na isda and daing na bangus. They're the ones who brave the seas, often before sunrise, to make sure we have fish on our tables. They know more about the weather and the waves than any app, and their work is a cornerstone of life in an archipelago like the Philippines.
From "mang-" + "isda" (fish). The prefix 'mang-' indicates a profession or habitual action.
ROOT MEANING: fish
A very common word referring to the occupation.
