Definition
Plural of cisco; a type of whitefish found in North American freshwater lakes.
Etymology
From the Ojibwe word 'siscowet,' referring to the fish species. English adopted this Native American term directly since the fish was native to North America and Ojibwe peoples had long names for local species.
Kelly Says
The word 'cisco' came directly from Native Americans who had fished for these whitefish for centuries—it's a reminder that animal names often come from indigenous languages when English speakers encountered animals that already had established names.
