History

Etymology

Various origins: * A variant of Paine. * Borrowed from Spanish Paín.

From Middle English peyne, payne, from Old French and Anglo-Norman peine, paine, from Latin poena (“punishment, pain”), from Ancient Greek ποινή (poinḗ, “bloodmoney, weregild, fine, price paid, penalty”), from Proto-Hellenic *kwoinā́, from Proto-Indo-European *kwoynéh2 (“payment”) (whence also Proto-Slavic *cěnà (“price”)). Doublet of peine. Compare Danish pine, Norwegian Bokmål pine, German Pein, Dutch pijn, Afrikaans pyn. See also pine (the verb). Partly displaced native Old English sār (whence Modern English sore).

From Middle English payn (“a kind of pie with a soft crust”), from Old French pain (“bread”).

Backformation from pain (“pain in the ass”)
