put
English
Etymology 1
From Middle English putten, puten, poten, from Old English putian, *p?tian ("to push, put out"; attested by derivative putung (“pushing, impulse, instigation, urging”)) and potian (“to push, thrust, strike, butt, goad”), both from Proto-Germanic *put?n? (“to stick, stab”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bud- (“to shoot, sprout”). Compare also related Old English p?tan (“to push, poke, thrust, put out (the eyes)”). Cognate with Dutch poten (“to set, plant”), Danish putte (“to put”), Swedish putta, pötta, potta (“to strike, knock, push gently, shove, put away”), Norwegian putte (“to set, put”), Norwegian pota (“to poke”), Icelandic pota (“to poke”), Dutch peuteren (“to pick, poke around, dig, fiddle with”). Outside of Germanic possibly comparable to Sanskrit ????? (bundá, “arrow”).
