pusten
Appearance
See also: pušten
German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The modern form is from German Low German pusten, from Middle Low German pûsten, 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]
