Etymology 2

Earlier conjecture/variant reading in Pseudo-Virgil's Catalepton, where more recent editions read Pothus (“Desire”), i.e. personified Ancient Greek πόθος (póthos). 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, but the single attestation is spurious, making this a ghost word. See Proto-Italic *putlos and Latin puer, pūsus, pullus.

Noun

putus m (genitive putī); second declension

2. (hapax, conjecture) a boy

Synonyms

• puellus
• puerulus
• pūsus, pūsiō
• pusillus
• pisinnus, pitinnus
