Definition of pokal in English:

pokal

noun pə(ʊ)ˈkɑːl
historical
  • Originally: a large German goblet or tankard, usually made of glass, and often having a lid (now chiefly historical). Now also: a large or stylized cup or other vessel used especially for ceremonial purposes.

Origin

Mid 19th century. From German Pokal from Italian boccale mug, jug from post-classical Latin baucalis vessel for cooling wine or water from Hellenistic Greek βαύκαλις, of uncertain origin. The change of initial b- to p- in German was probably influenced by a perceived folk-etymological connection with classical Latin pōculum.
