Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *paustas, further etymology is unknown. Cognate with Old Prussian pausto (wild). May be connected to Ancient Greek παῦσις (paûsis, end, rest, pause) (whence English pause), from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂w-, but Derksen challenges this on accentual grounds.
