Proto-Slavic

Etymology

  • Per Černykh: Possibly back-formed from Proto-Slavic *puzdro, from earlier *pōsra, Proto-Balto-Slavic *pausra, from Proto-Indo-European *pews-r-óm, from *pews- (to swell, to blow) (voicing in BSl. *-sr- is also attested in *nozdra (nostril)).
  • Per Vasmer: Alternatively, may be related to Lithuanian рùžаs (type of shrub), perhaps from pre-Balto-Slavic *pewǵʰ- (?).
