purlicuen.

Brit.

/ˈpəːlᵻkjuː/, U.S.

/ˈpərliˌkju/, Scottish English

/ˈpʌrlᵻkju/

Forms: 1800s– purlicue, 1900s– pirlicue, 1900s– pirlique (Irish English (northern)); Scottish 1800s parlecue, 1800s parleycue, 1800s perleque, 1800s perlikew, 1800s pirlecue, 1800s pirlequey, 1800s pirliecue, 1800s purlecue, 1800s purleque, 1800s purleycue, 1800s– parlicue, 1800s– perlicue, 1800s– pirlicue, 1800s– purlicue, 1900s– pirrliecue, 1900s– purliecue. N.E.D. (1909) also records a form perlecue.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: English pirlie, an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Probably < Scots pirlie curly, twisted (although this is apparently first attested slightly later: 1825; probably < pirl v. + -y suffix¹) + a second element of uncertain origin, perhaps cue n.³ (with sense 1a compare also curlicue n.). The origin of sense 4 is unclear.Alternatively, various conjectures (by Jamieson and later authors) have tried to link the first part of the compound with several French words, e.g. parler to speak (see parle v.), parole parol n., par la by the, and pour la for the; however, none of these is semantically plausible. The word is apparently first recorded in Jamieson; it is noteworthy that his dictionary of 1808 records only senses 1a, 1b, and that despite being a Scottish clergyman, he did not record sense 3 any earlier than in the Supplement of 1825.

Originally and chiefly Scottish. Now rare.
