Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Doric Greek πᾶνος (pânos, thread on the bobbin; bobbin) (which equals Attic Greek πῆνος (pênos); more commonly attested in the diminutive πᾱνίον (pāníon) / πηνίον (pēníon)). More at πήνη (pḗnē).[1]

The non-bobbin meanings are likely metaphorical extensions of the bobbin meaning, though some, such as Schrijver and Derksen, have taken the "swelling" meaning as derived from a separate Proto-Indo-European *pnHk- (swelling, bunch), connecting the word to Proto-Slavic *pǫ̀čiti (to swell, burst), *pǫkъ (bunch).[1][2]
