پوچ

See also: بوح‎ and بوچ‎

Persian

Etymology

Uncertain. The word does not occur in Middle Persian, but does, possibly, occur in Dēnkard, a 10th-century compendium, where it can be interpreted as "nihility" [1]. The word became widespread in Iranian varieties first in the XV-th century[1].

Possibly from the onomatopoetic Proto-Iranian *pū- (“to blow”), whence also Persian ‎ (pūk, “hollow”)[2]. Has been compared to Middle Persian [script needed] (pūdag, “foul, rotten”)[1].

Compare, however, also Proto-Turkic *boĺ (“free, empty”).

Iranic cognates

Cognate with Northern Kurdish pûç, Gurani [script needed] (pūt), Shughni [script needed] (pūč), Sangisari [script needed] (pūč), Zazaki puç, Talysh püç (“empty”), possibly also dialectal Talysh poş (“empty”) (unless the latter is from Azerbaijani boş).
