Etymology

**poindre** (verb) – *French* The verb comes from Latin **ponere** “to put, to place”. In Old French it appeared as *poindre* (also *poindre*), preserving the sense “to lay or put down”. By figurative extension it acquired the sense “to show, to become visible” (e.g., *poindre au couvent* “to become visible in the convent”), a semantic shift that occurred in the late Middle French period.
