poulticen. Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin pultēs, pult-, puls. Etymology: < classical Latin pultēs, plural of pult-, puls thick pap, pottage (see pulse n.1), used in post-classical Latin to denote mixtures of meal, etc., used as poultices (see e.g. quots. a1400 at sense 1α. , ?a1425 at sense 1α. ), probably taken as singular in post-classical Latin, perhaps on account of its collective meaning.The word is not paralleled in French, but compare (considerably later) French †pulte cataplasm (1611 in Cotgrave in an isolated attestation in this sense; also occasionally in sense ‘thick pap’ (1615); < post-classical Latin pult- , puls ). On the phonological history compare poultry n. and discussion at that entry.
