Etymology
1. Of uncertain origin. First recorded in standard Italian in the late 19th century via Northern military conscripts. Proposed derivations include:
2. # A Northern blend of Piedmontese plandra (“dissolute woman”) + landrone (“loafer”).
3. # A derivative of palandrana (“loose gown”), via Old French houppelande, from remaining in lounging attire.
4. # An allotrope of poltrone (“lazy person”), ultimately from Latin pullus (“foal”). See: Latin Nouns '
pullus'.
