**** Verb
[en-verb]
1. [en] To form a pool.
*** Etymology 2
[en] 1. From [en]. The French word "poule" in this context is an
abbreviation of "poulain, pouliche" (foal, filly), and referred to races with
female horses under 3 years old. It then became used by punters to designate
bets on that race, and started to be used from the racetrack to the stadiums.
2. The OED suggests that this may be a transferred use of [fr], which has
been explained anecdotally as deriving from an old informal betting game in
France - 'jeu de poule' - Game of Chicken (or Hen, literally) in which _poule_
became synonymous with the combined money pot claimed by the winner.
