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)”).
