🌳Etymology
Origin
From Hindi 'panch' meaning five, as the drink was originally made with five ingredients. The word entered English in the 17th century through trade with India. The verb 'punch' (to hit) likely has a separate origin from the onomatopoetic 'pounce' or related to the Commedia dell'arte character Punchinello.
