You can use it as a verb (She pouted) or as a noun (a pout). Informal, everyday English — at home in chat, stories, and magazines, not in a serious report. “Purse your lips” is a tighter, smaller shape, more like thinking or getting ready to kiss; a pout is fuller and pushed out.

組成From Middle English pouten, probably from old Scandinavian words for something puffed out, like a pillow (Norwegian pute, Danish pude, and a Swedish dialect word puta “to be puffed out”). Those go back to a Germanic word for “swollen,” and further to a very old root meaning “to swell.”
