The phrase "pulled on" does not have a specific etymology since it is a combination of two words: "pulled" and "on". Each word has its own distinct origin:
1. Pulled: The verb "pulled" comes from the Middle English word "pullen", which has Old English and Old Norse origins. "Pullen" is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "pullōną", meaning "to pluck, pull out". It is related to other Germanic languages such as German "pullen", Dutch "pullen", and Danish "pulde".
2. On: The preposition "on" has Old English origins. It is derived from the Old English word "on", which shares a common Germanic root with German "an", Dutch "aan", and Danish "på", all meaning "on" or "at".
