Catalan[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Ultimately from Latin pungō (to puncture), either analogically derived from Catalan punxí, from the perfect form of the Latin verb,[1] or through a Vulgar Latin *punctiāre, itself possibly reaching Catalan (and the Spanish equivalent punchar) through a Valencian Mozarabic intermediate.[2] Compare also Spanish punzar, pinchar, and Occitan ponchar.

Pronunciation[edit]

Verb[edit]

punxar (first-person singular present punxo, first-person singular preterite punxí, past participle punxat)

  1. (transitive, takes a reflexive pronoun) to puncture, prick, pierce
  2. (transitive, takes a reflexive pronoun) to sting
