Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: -

Inherited from Old French: puis

Inherited from Latin: puteus

In summary

Inherited from Middle French, from Old French puis, puiz, from Latin puteus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *paw- (“to strike”). The t was added back in Middle French in order to reflect the Latin spelling and distinguish from the verb/adverb puis.
