köken: Inherited from Old High German gifugili. The expected modern form is *Gefügel, a collective form pertaining to Vogel (“bird”), cf. similar Dutch gevogelte. The connection with Vogel was lost in German and the word was at some point re-interpreted as Geflügel, that is “creatures with wings; winged ones”. Cf. Flügel (“wing”).
köken: From πουλ(ί) (poul(í), “bird”) + -ερικό (-erikó, “suffix of uncertain etymon”). Petrunias associates it to neuter noun αερικό (aerikó, “etheral spirit, demon”) a word reminding of air and flying. Babiniotis, to σιδερ-ικό (sider-ikó, “object of iron”) or πεθερ-ικό (pether-ikó, “father-mother-in-law”) (but both words with ‑ερ- in their stems, suffixed with -ικό).
