Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen néerlandais: pompe

Appartenant à Middle Low German: pumpen

In summary

From Middle Dutch pompe, probably of imitative origin, similar to Middle Low German pumpen (“to stir water with a stick”). There may have been influence from Spanish bomba (“water pump”), itself ultimately of onomatopoeic origin. Compare bom (“bomb”).
