The term "bottom-fisher" is formed by changing the suffix in the term "bottom-fishing" from "ing" to "er". Since the suffix "er" means "one that does or performs" (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1989), a "bottom-fisher" does fishing at or near the bottom of the sea or river (bottom-fishing). In the field of real estate, "bottom-fisher" is used in a figurative sense to convey the image of a person fishing for bargains near the bottom of the market. 2, record 1, English, - bottom%2Dfisher
