common noun
Syllable Decomposition
pinardthe origin or at least the extensive use used by the poilus during the First World War comes from the famous gynecologist Professor Adolphe Pinard. At that time, he was a deputy in the Assembly and had a text passed for the daily supply of a quarter of red wine to the soldiers at the front. Also, when the wine arrived, the soldiers would say: "There's the pinard". Derived from pineau. Some also see an analogy with pivois (wine) derived from pivoine (due to its red color). From there come words like poivrot, picter (to drink)...
