Etymology

[edit]

Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *(h₃)pews- (to blow),[1] and compared with Lithuanian pũsti (to blow), pūslė̃ (blister, bladder), Norwegian føysa (to swell), Proto-Slavic *puxàti (to blow), and Latin pustula (bubble), though Mayrhofer and Rix express reservations on the existence of such a root.[2][3] It is also likely that all these languages innovated their own forms of this seemingly-onomatopoeic root.
