(“to drive, impel, propel, push; to banish, eject, expel; to set in motion; to strike”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to beat, strike; to drive; to push, thrust”)) + -sus (a variant of -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs)).

pulse (plural pulses)

- (music, prosody) The beat or tactus of a piece of music or verse; also, a repeated sequence of such beats.
- (physics)
- A brief burst of electromagnetic energy, such as light, radio waves, etc.
