poncen.

Brit.

/pɒns/, U.S.

/pɑns/

Forms: 1800s pouncey, 1800s– ponce, 1900s– poonce (Australian), 1900s– punce (Australian).

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from French. Etymon: French alphonse.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. A connection with pounce v.¹ (compare sense 6 at that entry) has frequently been suggested, though this appears to be largely based on the form pouncey in quot. 1861 at sense 1, which is not the earliest quot., and may represent folk-etymological alteration; the semantic connection is not clear either. A more plausible suggestion is that the word is aphetic < French (slang) alphonse a kept man (although this is apparently first attested slightly later: 1860), apparently a transferred use of the male forename Alphonse, although the semantic connection is unclear (the word was probably later reinforced by the forename of the main character of A. Dumas' play Monsieur Alphonse (1874), who is a kept man). See further P. Beale Partridge's Dict. Slang (ed. 8, 1984) 906/2.

derogatory slang (chiefly British).

1. A man who lives on money earned by another person (esp. a woman); a kept man. Also: a person (usually a man) who lives off a prostitute's earnings; a pimp.
