Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese *enpurrar (attested as the hapax derived term enpurron); further etymology is uncertain. Joan Coromines claims the word is unrelated to empuxar and proposes a connection with apurrar (“to incite”) and apurrir (“to put closer”) instead, which would ultimately derive it from Latin porrigere. Cognate with Portuguese empurrar and likely Asturian emburriar. For more information, see also the Portuguese entry below.
