Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Cognate with Latvian puõsms (“link”), formally reflecting Proto-Balto-Slavic *pṓˀsma. Endzelīns considers it a Balto-Slavic innovation.
Further origin is unclear. Has been compared with:
- Dutch vezel (“fibre”), German Faser (“fibre”), diminutives of an earlier Proto-West Germanic *fasō. Per Miklošič, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pes- (“to bulge”).
- Proto-Indo-Iranian *páćšma (“filament”), Proto-Germanic *fahsą (“hair”), from Proto-Indo-European *peḱ- (“to pluck”).
Neither of these theories explains the acute in Balto-Slavic.
