Etymologie

From Middle English pushen, poshen, posson, borrowed from Middle French pousser (Modern French pousser) from Old French poulser, from Latin pulsare, frequentative of pellere (past participle pulsus) "to beat, strike". Doublet of pulsate and pulse (verb). Partly displaced native Old English sċūfan, whence Modern English shove.
