Etymology 1

[edit]

FromMiddle Englishputten,puten,poten, fromOld Englishputian,*pūtian("to push, put out"; attested by derivativeputung(“pushing, impulse, instigation, urging”)) andpotian(“to push, thrust, strike, butt, goad”), both fromProto-West Germanic*putōn, fromProto-Germanic*putōną(“to stick, stab”), which is of uncertain origin. Possibly fromProto-Indo-European*bud-(“to shoot, sprout”), which would make it cognate withSanskritबुन्द(bundá,“arrow”),Lithuanianbudė, andbudis(“mushroom, fungus”). Compare also relatedOld Englishpȳtan(“to push, poke, thrust, put out (the eyes)”). Cognate withDutchpoten(“to set, plant”),Danishputte(“to put”),Swedishputta,pötta,potta(“to strike, knock, push gently, shove, put away”),Norwegianputte(“to set, put”),Norwegianpota(“to poke”),Icelandicpota(“to poke”),Dutchpeuteren(“to pick, poke around, dig, fiddle with”).
