Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French. Etymon: French poulain.
Etymology: Apparently < Old French poulain, puleyn, polan foal, young of any animal (see poleyn n.2).The sense in English is apparently by association with Anglo-Norman pulle , poule young of any animal, Middle French poule hen (see pull n.2). Compare slightly later pullaile n., pullet n. With figurative use at sense 2 compare French poule girl (see poule n.), poulet , poulette girl (see pullet n.). Compare pullet n. 2, also pucelle n. Quots. 1329 at sense 1α. and 1459-60 at sense 1β. (in which a vernacular word occurs in a Latin context) could formally represent an Anglo-Norman word, but this sense is apparently only attested in English.
Now rare (chiefly English regional (northern) in later use).
1. With plural or singular agreement. Poultry; domestic fowls; (also) the meat of these as food. Obsolete.Quot. 1541-2 at β. may possibly illustrate sense 2.
