英文词源

foal
foal: [OE] Foal goes back to a prehistoric source meaning ‘young, offspring’, which also produced Latin puer ‘child’ and English pony, poultry, pullet, pullulate, and even pool ‘common fund’. Its main Germanic descendant was *folon, which gave German fohlen and füllen, Dutch veulen, Swedish föl, and English foal, but another derivative of the same Germanic base produced English filly [15], probably borrowed from Old Norse fylja.
=> filly, pony, pool, poultry, pullet, pullulate
foal (n.)
Old English fola "foal, colt," from Proto-Germanic *fulon (cognates: Old Saxon folo, Middle Dutch volen, Dutch veulen, Old Norse foli, Old Frisian fola, Old High German folo, German Fohlen, Gothic fula), from PIE *pulo- "young of an animal" (cognates: Greek polos "foal," Latin pullus "a young animal," Albanian pele "mare"), suffixed form of root *pau- (1) "few, little" (see few).
foal (v.)
"give birth (to a foal)," late 14c., from foal (n.). Related: Foaled; foaling.
