Etymology 1

From Middle English pouren (“to pour”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old Northern French purer (“to sift (grain), pour out (water)”), from Latin pūrō (“to purify”), from pūrus (“pure”). Compare also the rare Dutch pouren (“to pour”).

Displaced several Middle English verbs:

  • schenchen, schenken (“to pour”), from Old English sċenċan (“to pour out”), whence dialectal English shink, and Old Norse skenkja, whence dialectal English skink, and akin to Dutch schenken (“to pour; to gift”)
  • yeten, from Old English ġēotan (“to pour”) and akin to German gießen (“to pour”)
  • birlen (“to pour, serve drink to”), from Old English byrelian (“to pour, serve drink to”)
  • hellen (“to pour, pour out”), from Old Norse hella (“to pour out, incline”)

In the sense “pour”, displaced teem, from Middle English temen (“to pour out, empty”), from Old Norse tœma (“to pour out, empty”).
