Morphology

piscatorial = piscator (opaque) = piscator + ial

The adjective is formed from Latin 'piscator' + '-ial'; the root form is rare and unfamiliar to most learners, so the meaning cannot be reliably guessed.

Etymology

Piscatorial comes from the Latin piscis, which means 'fish', and it shares that root with the zodiac name Pisces. So piscatorial means 'relating to fishing or fishermen', which is why it describes a fishing life or fishing stories.
