Etymology 2

Earlier conjecture/variant reading in Pseudo-Virgilian Catalepton, where more recent editions read Pothus (“Desire”).[1] The word would match the base form of pusillus, putillus (see the former for details) as well as a number of Italic and Indo-European cognates. For this reason it has found a circulation in etymological works and is included as a headword by De Vaan,[2] but the single attestation is spurious, making this a ghost word. Probably from Proto-Italic *putlos, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *putlo (“son”).[3] See also puer, pūsus.

Noun

putus m (genitive putī); second declension

1. (hapax, conjecture) a teeny boy

Synonyms

• puellus
• puerulus
• pūsus, pūsiō
• pusillus
