† pumping balln.

Forms: 1500s pumping bal, 1500s pumping ball.

Origin: Perhaps a borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Etymons: French pompette , ball n.¹

Etymology: Perhaps < French pompette pumpet n., with assimilation to -ing suffix¹ and perhaps also to pump v. (perhaps suggested by the action of inking the type), + ball n.¹ Compare slightly later pumpet n., pumpet-ball at pumpet n., pump-ball n., and also later pumping nail n.Alternatively, the first element might show an alteration of French pompon pompom n.¹ (perhaps related to pumpet n.), but this is apparently not attested denoting a printer's ink-ball.

Printing. Obsolete.

A ball used by printers for inking type; = pumpet n. Cf. pump-ball n.
