Etymology
From Guernsey Norman pieuvre (introduced or popularised by Victor Hugo ca. 1866; cf. also Old Northern French puerve). Ultimately from Latin polypūs (via *pueleve, *puelve, *pueuve, *pieuve, with the same /w/ > /j/ dissimilation as in yeux), from Ancient Greek πολύπους (polúpous, “several feet”). Doublet of poulpe.
