The origin is uncertain.[1] Likely ultimately an expressive or onomatopoeic formation.
Since de Lagarde the Armenian word is often connected with Sanskritपुच्छ(púččha, “tail, the hinder part”),[2][3][4][5][6] which Pokorny derives from Proto-Indo-European*pū̆k-, *pewk-(“thick-haired, bushy (bushy tail)”),[7] but Proto-Indo-European initial *p- would not yield an Armenian պ-(p-).
J̌ahukyan derives from Proto-Indo-European*bowokyo- with a question mark, a supposed derivative of the root *b(e)u-, *bʰ(e)ū̆-(“to swell, puff”), with such cognates as Latinbucca(“cheek”) and Swedishpuk(“swelling, lump, growth, tubers”).[8][9] See Pokorny for this root, without the Armenian.[10] Note that many other derivatives of this root are of disputed origin and thought to be sound-symbolic; this is consistent with the presence of the rare PIE phoneme *b.
For the sense development "tail" → "penis" compare Chagataiقوتاق(ḳotaḳ, “tail; penis”), as well as Old Armenian ձետ(jet, “tail”), which in Middle Armenian also means "penis".
