Etimoloji (İngilizce)

Possibly from an imitative birdcall. Not found in Middle Dutch or other Germanic languages. Displaced the older term hen in northern Dutch around the 18th century. The policeman sense might be a semantic loan from French poulet, referring to a police station in Paris that was built over a former farm.
