† pirren.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps an imitative or expressive formation.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps imitative, after the wheezing sound which may accompany breathing difficulties. An explanation as shortened < pursive adj. seems less likely, in view of the difference in the vowel.

Obsolete. rare.

A breathing difficulty; (perhaps) asthma.
