Etymology of POURED
The word "poured" is derived from the Old French word "puerer", which came from the Latin word "porrigere". "Porrigere" was a compound of the prefix "pro", meaning "forward", and the verb "regere", meaning "to guide" or "to direct". Over time, "puerer" in Old French evolved into the modern English word "poured", which retained its meaning of pouring or flowing in a fluid manner.
