toadfish

/tˈoʊdfɪʃ/ noun

Any fish thought to resemble a toad

Word Origin A compound of 'toad' and 'fish' — a fish that looks like a toad. 'Toad' comes from Old English tādige, and 'fish' from Proto-Germanic fiskaz. The same 'toad' gives us toadstool (a mushroom, literally 'toad's stool') and toady (a flatterer, from the idea of a toad-like sycophant).
