Word origin
The phrase 'pour down' originated from the Old French word 'pur' meaning 'pure' and the Latin word 'durare' meaning 'to last or endure'. Over time, the phrase evolved to refer to something falling rapidly and heavily, such as rain or donations. It has been used in English since the 14th century to describe intense rainfall or a sudden influx of something.
