pirlv.

Brit.

/pəːl/, U.S.

/pərl/, Scottish English

/pɪrl/

Forms: late Middle English–1500s 1700s– pirl, 1500s pirle, 1500s pirrl, 1500s pyrl, 1500s pyrle, 1600s pirhl, 1800s– pirdle (English regional (south-western)), 1800s– purl (English regional (northern), in sense 1), 1900s– perl (English regional); Scottish pre-1700 pyrl, 1700s purle (in sense 1), 1700s– pirl, 1800s– purl (in sense 1), 1900s– pirrl. See also purl v.³, purl v.⁵

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps ultimately showing two or more words of separate origin; perhaps (partly) imitative. Attested earliest in pirling adj., which in its earliest sense apparently shows sense 3a. With sense 1 compare purl n.¹, purl v.², which apparently show senses developed ultimately from this word. With sense 3 compare purl v.⁵ and purl n.⁵, and with sense 2 compare purl v.³ and purl n.²; in both cases the forms with -u- apparently ultimately show variants of the forms given here, although compare parallels from North Germanic languages discussed at purl v.³ It is possible that senses 3 and 2 show a different word from sense 1; sense 2 is perhaps ultimately of a different origin from either of the other senses (perhaps showing a variant of purl v.³). Perhaps compare also prill n.¹It is uncertain whether the same word is shown by Older Scots pyrl to thrust or poke at (see Dict. Older Sc. Tongue at that entry, and compare pirlie n.); see also Sc. National Dict. s.v. pirl v., n. for further senses apparently related to sense 3b.

In later use chiefly British regional (esp. Scottish).

1. transitive. To twist, wind, or spin (threads, fibres, wires, etc.) into cord, braid, net, etc. Also (quot. 1996): to turn or twist (a screw).Apparently unattested in the 17th and 18th centuries.
