English: from Middle English pese ‘pea’, hence a metonymic
occupational name for a grower or seller of peas, or a nickname for a
small and insignificant person. The word was originally a collective
singular (Old English peose, pise, from Latin
pisa) from which the modern English vocabulary word pea
is derived by folk etymology, the singular having been taken as a
plural.
