poleur
Walloon
Etymology
From Old French pooir, from Vulgar Latin *potēre (“to be able”), *possō for Classical Latin posse, present active infinitive of possum. The Latin infinitive *potēre was a regularized form from the root potis (“able”) or formed on the basis of the present participle potens. The l is a unetymological consonant added to avoid hiatus, probably due to the influence of voleur.
