Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *pъta + *-ica, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *put-. Cognate with Latvian putns (“bird”), Lithuanian putýtis (“little bird”), Lithuanian pučiùtė (“chicken”). More distantly cognate with Latin putila (“chick, baby bird”) and (per Vasmer) various words referring to children, e.g. Latin putus, putillus (“child”), Sanskrit पुत्र (putrá, “child, son”), Avestan 𐬞𐬎𐬚𐬭𐬀 (puθra, “child, son”), Paelignian puclo- (“child”). Chernykh adds Latin pullus (“chicken”) < Proto-Indo-European *put-s-lo-.
