Word origin

The word 'pint' originates from the Old French word 'pinte', which in turn comes from the Vulgar Latin 'pincta', meaning 'painted'. This is thought to refer to the practice of marking liquid measures on pots or jugs. The use of the word 'pint' to refer to a specific volume measurement dates back to the 14th century.
