Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French word 'poulenet', meaning 'little foal', which itself stems from the Late Latin 'pullamen' (foal) and Latin 'pullus' (young of an animal). Entering Middle English in the late 16th century, the term evolved to specifically designate a horse of a small breed or certain small stature.
