Feminine of 'fisherman' is ____________.

Solution

The correct feminine form of 'fisherman' is fisherwoman (usually written as one word).

Key points:

• Many nouns ending in -man form the feminine by replacing -man with -woman. Example: mailman to mailwoman.

• Some nouns historically form feminine with -maid (milkman to milkmaid), but that does not apply to 'fisherman'.

• Modern usage often prefers gender-neutral terms such as 'fisher' or 'fisherperson'.

• Compound occupational forms are typically written as a single word: fisherman → fisherwoman.

Therefore, the best answer is fisherwoman. Alternatively, use the gender-neutral form 'fisher' or 'fisherperson' if you want to avoid gendered language.
