Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *pelnō or *pelnaō, a nasal-infix present derived from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to drive, strike, thrust”). See Ancient Greek πάλλω (pállō), πελεμίζω (pelemízō, “shake, cause to tremble”), ψάλλω (psállō), Latin palpō. Unrelated to Greek πέλω (pélō), which means "to stir." The past participle pulsus is analogous; the logical outcome of Proto-Italic *poltos would have been *pultus; compare pultō and Venetan poltos. See vellō for a similar analogy.
