† purpyn.

Forms: pre-1700 pwrpie, pre-1700 1700s purpie, pre-1700 1700s purpy.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French porpé, pourpié, polpier.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman porpé and Middle French pourpié (French pourpier , (now regional) pourpié ) purslane (13th cent. in Anglo-Norman), variant (with assimilation of consonants) of polpier (end of the 11th cent. in Old French in a gloss in Rashi), apparently < an unattested post-classical Latin form *pulliped- , *pullipes , literally ‘chicken's foot’ < classical Latin pullī , genitive of pullus young animal, young domestic fowl, chicken (see pull n.²) + pēs foot (see -ped comb. form). The plant is probably so named on account of its roots which have multiple branches, resembling a chicken's foot. Compare post-classical Latin pes pulli (from 14th cent. in British sources), in medieval lists of plant names (e.g. Sinonoma Bartholomei 34) a regular synonym of portulaca (see portulaca n.). Compare further Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch s.v. *pullipes.
