Etymology
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.
