Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *pъtica. Beware false cognate Greek πτηνό (ptinó, “bird”) and related forms in all languages from Ancient Greek πέτομαι (pétomai, “to fly”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *peth₂- (whence also Proto-Slavic *però and true Slavic cognates of the Greek word, like Russian перо́ (peró, “feather”)).
