Word origin

Early Modern English pimple, pumple, from Middle English pymple, pympyl, of uncertain origin but probably a nasalized variant of Old English *pipel, *pypel, from Old English piplian, pyplian (“to break out in pimples, show eruptions”), probably related to Latin papula (“pimple, pustule”) (from Proto-Indo-European *pap- (“pock mark, nipple”)). Akin to Old English pipliġende (“having shingles”).

Used in a sentence

  • I had to pop that embarrassing pimple, it was huge and red and on the tip of my nose.
  • He's such a pimple! I wish he'd stop being so irritating!
