Etymology

Probably from an earlier *puhō (in view of the variation of the stems *puhhô, *pukkô, and *pukô), apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *bewk- (“to puff up”), and possibly cognate with Polish buczyć (“to puff oneself up”), though this is uncertain.[1] Regardless, probably sound-symbolic.
