Etymology
From Proto-Georgian-Zan *puṭuro-. Klimov further compares Proto-Indo-European *pū̆-tro- (“rotten”) (with reflexes in Italic and Celtic), from the root *puH- (“to stink, rot”), implying a borrowing from Indo-European. He notes that a borrowing from the Latin descendant puter, putris (“rotten”) of that root is unlikely.
According to Ačaṙean, the borrowing is from Armenian փուտ (pʻut, “rottenness; rotten”), another reflex of the same Proto-Indo-European root.
