Etymology
1. c.1330, freq. or dim. of O.E.
pudd "ditch," related to Ger.
pudeln "to splash in water" (cf.
poodle). Originally used of pools and ponds as well. The verb "to dabble in water, poke in mud" (1440) led to sense in iron manufacture of "to turn and stir (molten iron) in a furnace."
2. From Middle English podel, diminutive of Old English pudd (“ditch”), from Proto-Germanic *puddaz (compare Low German Pudel (“puddle”), Middle High German podel (“quagmire, mudhole”), Hunsrik Puttel, dialectal German Pfudel (“puddle”), German pudeln (“to splash about”)), ultimately imitative. See: German, old spelling '
pudeln'.
