Etymology 2

edit

Uncertain, has been extension of Etymology 1 on account of the shape of a puffin's beak.[1] However, the use of the same word for a Manx shearwater and a puffin parallels a shift in English where puffin used to mean a Manx shearwater until the 19th century, before coming to refer to Fratercula arctica.
