Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pance, panche.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French pance (1155 in Old French; French panse ), Middle French panche (late 13th cent. in Old French (Picardy); now French regional (northern)) < classical Latin pantic- , pantex (usually in plural, panticēs ) paunch, bowels, a word of the popular language, of unknown origin. Compare Old Occitan, Occitan pansa (12th–13th cent.), Portuguese pança (a1284 in an isolated attestation; subsequently from 1701), Italian pancia (late 13th cent. or earlier), Catalan panxa (1413), Spanish panza (1475), and also ( < French) Middle Dutch pance , panse , Middle Low German panse , pans , Middle High German (rare) panze , all earliest in sense ‘stomach, belly’. Sense 2 is not paralleled in French until later (1680). Compare slightly earlier paunce n.Apparently attested earlier as a surname: Adam Rerepaunch (1267), although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as reflecting the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word. The surname Pauncefoot, the first element of which is apparently this word, is attested earlier in various forms (e.g. Bernard Paunceuolt (1086), Hunfridus paunceuot (1148), Mabilia Panzeuot (1186)); however, in early examples the first element is certainly to be interpreted as reflecting the Anglo-Norman word, and in later examples the name has undergone much alteration as a result of folk etymology: see P. H. Reaney & R. M. Wilson Dict. Eng. Surnames (1991) at Pauncefoot. N.E.D. (1904) also gives the pronunciation (pān^tʃ) /pɑːn(t)ʃ/.

a. The stomach of a person or of an animal.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pance, panche. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French pance (1155 in Old French; French panse ), Middle French panche (late 13th cent. in Old French (Picardy); now French regional (northern)) < classical Latin pantic- , pantex (usually in plural, panticēs ) paunch, bowels, a word of the popular language, of unknown origin. Compare Old Occitan, Occitan pansa (12th–13th cent.), Portuguese pança (a1284 in an isolated attestation; subsequently from 1701), Italian pancia (late 13th cent. or earlier), Catalan panxa (1413), Spanish panza (1475), and also ( < French) Middle Dutch pance , panse , Middle Low German panse , pans , Middle High German (rare) panze , all earliest in sense ‘stomach, belly’. Sense 2 is not paralleled in French until later (1680). Compare slightly earlier paunce n.Apparently attested earlier as a surname: Adam Rerepaunch (1267), although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as reflecting the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word. The surname Pauncefoot, the first element of which is apparently this word, is attested earlier in various forms (e.g. Bernard Paunceuolt (1086), Hunfridus paunceuot (1148), Mabilia Panzeuot (1186)); however, in early examples the first element is certainly to be interpreted as reflecting the Anglo-Norman word, and in later examples the name has undergone much alteration as a result of folk etymology: see P. H. Reaney & R. M. Wilson Dict. Eng. Surnames (1991) at Pauncefoot. N.E.D. (1904) also gives the pronunciation (pān^tʃ) /pɑːn(t)ʃ/. 1. a. The stomach of a person or of an animal.
