editEtymology
editFirst attested as pescion in 980, from peis + -on, peis (“fish”) being from Latin piscis. Alternatively, but less likely, it came through a Vulgar Latin *pisciō, pisciōnem. Peis probably evolved into pescion within Old French to avoid confusion with its homonym peis (“peace”).
Noun
