The French noun *pigeon* (bird) is a direct borrowing from Latin **pīco**, a word for a dove or pigeon that is a variant of the earlier Latin *pīcus*. The Latin term itself probably stems from a pre‑Latin root related to the Proto‑Indo‑European *peuk‑ “to peck”, alluding to the bird’s feeding habit. The word entered Old French as *pigeon* in the 12th century, and its figurative sense “easily deceived” developed in the 19th century from the bird’s reputed docility.
