Etymology

The word trout goes back to Old English and related Germanic languages that used a similar name for this river fish, so people have called it the same for a long time. A helpful image to remember it is someone shouting 'trout!' when they pull a fish from the water, and that's why trout still means a 'freshwater fish' often eaten as food.
