Borrowed from Middle Iranian *pūt. Compare Middle Persian pwtk' (pūdag, foul, rotten), Persian پود (pūd, old), پوده (pūda, rubbed, worn), Avestan 𐬞𐬏𐬌𐬙𐬌 (pūiti, rottenness), Sanskrit पूतिक (pūtika, foul, stinking, putrid). These are ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *puH- (rotten).

Old Georgian ფუტურო (puṭuro) may be borrowed from Armenian.
