Etymology

**Etymology of French “pomper” (verb)** The verb *pomper* comes from Old French *pomper* “to pump”, which was borrowed from Latin *pompa* ‘pump’ (originally from Greek *pompós* ‘drinking vessel’). In the 19th century the word acquired a slang sense meaning “to trick or swindle” (especially on the black market), likely by metaphorical extension from the idea of “pumping” a device to siphon or extract something illicit.
