Étymologie
From Middle French pompon, from Latin pepō, from Ancient Greek πέπων (pépōn, “large melon”), from πέπων (pépōn, “ripe”), from πέπτω (péptō, “ripen”). Suffixed with the now obsolete diminutive -kin. Doublet of pepo. The alternative theory that it may be from Massachusett pôhpukun (“grows forth round”) is false.
