According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word pilcrow "apparently" originated in English from an unattested version of the French pelagraphe, a corruption of paragraph; the earliest reference is c. 1440. The Oxford Universal Dictionary says it may be from "pulled [plucked] crow," based on its appearance.
