'puncher' originates from the English word 'punch,' which comes from the Middle English 'punchen,' meaning 'to thrust or strike.'

'punchen' transformed into the modern English word 'punch,' and 'puncher' was derived as a noun form to describe someone or something that punches.

Initially, it meant 'to thrust or strike,' and over time it evolved to describe someone or something that makes holes or throws punches.
