Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French poletrie, poulleterie.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman poletrie, pulletrie, pulteri, pultrie and Middle French (Normandy) poulleterie (1280 in Old French as pouletrie ) domestic fowl collectively (1280 in Old French), in Anglo-Norman also position or office of poulterer (1376 or earlier), place where fowl are sold (although this is apparently first attested later: 1396 or earlier), room for storing fowls (a1443 or earlier) < poleter poulter n. + -eri , -erie -ery suffix. Compare post-classical Latin pulletaria , pulleteria , pulletria , pultaria , pulteria , pultria domestic fowl collectively (frequently from 1252 in British sources), henhouse (1255 in a British source), position or office of poulterer (1377 in a British source). Compare later poult n.1, pullet n.On the phonological development see discussion in E. J. Dobson Eng. Pronunc. 1500–1700 (ed. 2, 1968) II. §§174, 251. The γ. forms show loss of the pre-consonantal liquid. The following quot. is interpreted by Dict. Older Sc. Tongue at pultry, reading pultare , as an early example of an α form of sense 1:c1368 in Hist. MSS Comm.: 15th Rep.: App. Pt. VIII: MSS Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry (1897) 41 in Parl. Papers (C. 8553) L. 207 [Free..from] tolle [within Anandale] de cariag' et pultar' [prob. read pultura].However, this interpretation is unlikely on semantic grounds; rather, the form probably represents post-classical Latin pultura allowance of food, maintenance, customary payment (a1200 in a British source; < classical Latin pult- , puls pulse n.1 + -ūra -ure suffix1).
1. Domestic fowl collectively; birds which are commonly reared for their flesh, eggs, or feathers, as chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc. (usually excluding game birds); such birds prepared for sale or for food; the meat of such birds; (occasionally) chickens, as opposed to other domestic fowl. Also as a count noun: a bird of this type.
