Etymology

From Middle Dutch pôte (“limb, claw”), further etymology unclear. The only known Germanic cognate is Middle Low German pote (itself having been borrowed as Danish pote, Norwegian Bokmål pote, Norwegian Nynorsk pote and German Pfote). Outside Germanic, Old French pote and Catalan pota may be related.
