Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: pule v., mite n.2, -er suffix1.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < pule v. + mite n.2 (compare mite n.2 4) + -er suffix1, although the origin of the second syllable is uncertain; it may perhaps show -er suffix1, misapprehended in speech (in a non-rhotic accent), or perhaps pula- may instead show puly adj., with reduction of the vowel in an unstressed syllable. Compare pulamiting adj.
rare.
A person who whines or whinges; a sniveller.Apparently only in the work of D. H. Lawrence.
ΘΚΠ
