pisculent - adj., (obs.) (rare) of, pertaining to, or full of fishes, fishy.


All the real-world uses I'm finding are from the 17th century, which is fitting from a word gacked wholesale from Latin: pisculentus, meaning abounding in fish. Found via the OED Word of the Day:

Pisculent bathtub

And that wraps it up for a week of P words. Back next week with -- another theme week. Because I can run them back to back if I want to.
