Etimoloxía (Inglés)

Herdado de Middle English: purchasen

Relativo a Old French: porchacier

Relativo a francés: pourchasser

In summary

From Middle English purchasen, from Anglo-Norman purchacer (“seek to obtain”) from pur- (from Latin pro-) + chac(i)er (“to chase, pursue”). Compare Old French porchacier (“to follow, to chase”), which has given French pourchasser (“to chase without relent”).
