Word origin
The word 'purr' originated from the Middle English word 'purren', which imitates the sound of a cat's purring. Cats purr not only when they are content but also when they are in pain or distress, making it a complex form of communication. The soothing sound of a cat's purring has been associated with relaxation and comfort for centuries.
