Etimologia (Inglese)

The modern form is from German Low German pusten, from Middle Low German pûsten, borrowed during the 18th century and spread in this Low German form after that. Ultimately of imitative origin (lautmalend), though it is unclear if the word goes back to a Proto-Indo-European root.
Earlier attestations (from the 14th century on) are pausten, pfausten, rarely also pusten. These prove the word to be inherited in High German.
