Brit. /pɔɪ/, U.S. /pɔɪ/
Forms: 1600s poye, 1600s puoy, 1600s 1800s– poy.
Origin: Perhaps a borrowing from French. Etymons: French appui; French puie.
Etymology: Perhaps < French appui (masculine), †appuye (feminine) part of a window or balustrade which one can lean upon (1530 in Middle French as feminine noun, 1549 as masculine noun; also 1611 in Cotgrave, who glosses it as ‘an open and outstanding terrace or gallery, set on th' outside with railes to leane vpon’; specific senses of apui , appui , etc. ‘support, stay, prop’: see appui n.), with loss of the initial vowel, or perhaps (in spite of the gap in the chronology) < Middle French (north-eastern) puie, poie, poiye, poye pew n.1 Compare Dutch pui (see pew n.1). Sense 2, which is apparently not paralleled in French, appears to be a later transferred use (unless it is in fact a word of different origin). Perhaps compare also earlier poy n.1
English regional. Now rare.
