pusten

See also: pušten

German

Etymology

The modern form is from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), borrowed during the 18th century and spread in this Low German form after that. Earlier attestations (from the 14th century on) are pausten, pfausten, rarely also pusten. These prove the word to be inherited in High German. It is sometimes traced back to an onomatopoeic Proto-Indo-European root.[1]
