Where this word comes from
According to Jacques Rousseau, it is cited to be from an Amerindian language meaning "log", which however does not adequately describe how the term originally referred to a buckwheat pancake. Its usage as a term for a felled log being floated to a mill may be explained as a reference to a log's resemblance to a rolled pitoune. In the sense "stunner; bimbo", often cited as an anglicism from a corruption of English happy town, but may have been coined as a feminine equivalent to pitou instead.
