    Etymology 2

    Earlier conjecture/variant reading in Pseudo-Virgil's Catalepton, where more recent editions read Pothus (Desire), i.e. personified Ancient Greek πόθος (póthos).[1] The word would match the base form of pusillus, putillus (see the former for details) as well as a number of Italic and Indo-European cognates. For this reason it has found a circulation in etymological works and is included as a headword by De Vaan,[2] but the single attestation is spurious, making this a ghost word. See Proto-Italic *putlos and Latin puer, pūsus, pullus.

    Noun
