poultry: poultry: [14] Poultry comes ultimately from a Latin word for a ‘young animal’, which also gave English pony. It was borrowed from Old French pouleterie, a derivative of pouletier ‘poultry dealer’. This in turn was based on poulet (source of English pullet [14]), a diminutive form of poule ‘hen’, which went back via Vulgar Latin *pulla to Latin pullus ‘young animal, young horse, young chicken’ (source of English pony and related to foal). Punch, as in ‘Punch and Judy’, may come from pullus too.
=> foal, pony, pullet
poultry (n.): "domestic fowls," late 14c. (mid-14c. as "place where poultry is sold"), from Old French pouletrie "domestic fowl" (late 13c.), from pouletier "dealer in domestic fowl," from poulet "young fowl" (see pullet).
