† puken.1Origin: A borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch puuc. Etymology: < Middle Dutch puuc, puyc, puc best sort of cloth (typically made of wool), best kind more generally (especially of concrete things) (1406 in puuck leder; Dutch puik pick of, choicest portion or example; compare also puik (adjective) excellent), related to Middle Dutch -puken (in utepuken to pick out the best; Dutch regional (Zeeland) puken to sieve, riddle (of grain)); further etymology unknown.Compare Middle Low German pūk the best cloth (frequently in compounds; also as pūch- ) and also Middle Low German pūch good (in pūch dünken ), German regional (Low German) pük fine, well-dressed, genuine, also (East Friesland) püke ware best goods, used especially of cloth ( > German piek- in piekfein very fine (19th cent.; colloquial)); probably all < Dutch. In early modern Dutch sources the making of this type of cloth is typically associated with Delft. There is apparently nothing comparable to sense 2 in Dutch or Middle Low German. This sense is apparently not connected in any way with later puce adj., puce n., or their etymon French puce , although these terms were applied to a similar colour range (compare sense 2).

Etymology: < puke v.With sense 2 compare earlier puker n. In sense 3 perhaps originally not the same word, although subsequently identified with it.

A connection with Irish English puke poor, puny, unhealthy-looking person (of uncertain origin) has also been suggested. 1. colloquial in later use. the world > health and disease > ill health > a disease > disorders of internal organs > digestive disorders > [noun] > vomiting 1612 G.
