pulquen.

Brit.

/ˈpʊlki/,

/ˈpʊlkeɪ/, U.S.

/ˈpʊlkeɪ/,

/ˈpʊlki/

Forms: 1500s pulco, 1600s pulche, 1700s– pulque.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish pulque.

Etymology: < Central American Spanish pulque (1524), probably < Nahuatl puliuhki decomposed, spoiled (in octli puliuhki spoiled octli, octli being the name of the drink in Nahuatl: see octli n.), specific sense development of poliuhki, puliuhki lost, condemned (1571 as poliuhqui in A. de Molina Vocabulario en lengua castellana y mexicana). It is likely that octli puliuhki, referring to spoiled pulque, was frequently used in Nahuatl (given that pulque easily spoils if not drunk within 24 to 36 hours), and that the adjective was then misapprehended by Spanish speakers as the name of the drink. See further J. Corominas Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico (1981) at that entry and C. A. Robelo Diccionario de Aztequismos (ed. 3, c1950) 450–4.Compare French pulque (1765). N.E.D. (1909) gives the non-naturalized pronunciation (pu·lke) /ˈpulke/.

A drink made in Mexico and some parts of Central America from the fermented sap of the agave or maguey ( Agave americana); = octli n. Cf. mescal n.Although still made locally, pulque is rarely found outside the regions mentioned as the difficulty of storing and preserving it (see the etymology) renders export largely impracticable.
