Etymology

Inherited from Old French: pouil

Inherited from Latin: pēdīculus

In summary

Inherited from Old French pouil, peouil, püil, from Late Latin peduclus < peduculus, variant of Latin pēdīculus, from pēdis, from Proto-Indo-European *pezd-. The singular is a back-formation from the plural (see also genou with the same development).
