Answer is - Catfish


Technological change tends to bring about linguistic and cultural change also. There are many old words which have acquired new meanings such as tablet, cloud and catfish.

Earlier the word referred to a marine or freshwater fish which had whisker-like barbels around the mouth and was typically bottom-dwelling.

Now it refers to a person who sets up a false personal profile on a social networking site for deceptive or fraudulent purposes.
