Proto-Slavic
Etymology
The verb is virtually everywhere extended with *u-, which demonstrates that the attested meaning is secondary. The literate meaning is unknown. Vasmer mentions a possible relation with Lithuanian pū́ti (“to rot”), Latvian pūt (“to smell”), which ultimately descend from proto-Indo-European *pewH- (“to purify”), but he qualifies it as questionable.
