In summary

Attested from 1810. Etymology uncertain, possibly either: * a variant of pouding (“pudding”), borrowed from English pudding (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- (“to swell”)); or * from a dialectal French word influenced by French pouding or English pudding, though this word has not been identified. Sense 1 is generally thought to have been coined by the Canadian restaurateur Fernand Lachance (1918–2004) as a name for the dish which is said to have been first served at his restaurant Lutin Qui Rit in Warwick, Quebec, in 1957. Cognates * Michif poutchine (possibly)
