† purtaunten.

Forms: 1600s paire taunt, 1600s purtaunte.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Etymons: pair n.¹, French tant.

Etymology: Probably < pair n.¹ + French tant (adverb) so much, as much (see tant pis n.), the hand being so called because it scores as much again as a pair royal; compare earlier pair royal n. No similar compound appears to be attested in French. Although both forms are attested in the same source, the form purtaunte probably shows a reduced vowel in the first element of the compound; compare the forms in par- , per- at pair royal n., and also prial n.

Cards. Obsolete. rare.

A hand in cribbage containing four cards of the same denomination; a double pair royal.
