Etymology

Per Derksen, cognate with *pȗstъ (“empty”) and Old Prussian pausto (“wild”); further connections unknown. Pokorny suggests a connection with Ancient Greek παῦσις (paûsis, “end, rest, pause”) (whence English pause), from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂s-, but Derksen challenges this on accentual grounds.
