"etymology_text": "Conjecture proposed by Joseph Scaliger in his edition of the Catalepton 7 (of disputed authorship; traditionally attributed to Virgil). Three manuscripts read \"pothus\" and the others read \"potus\"; accordingly, more recent editions read Pothus (“Desire”), i.e. personified Ancient Greek πόθος (póthos). If the conjecture is spurious, the term would be a ghost word.\nIf genuine, putus 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. See Proto-Italic *putlos and Latin puer, pūsus, pullus.",

"etymology_text": "Conjecture proposed by Joseph Scaliger in his edition of the Catalepton 7 (of disputed authorship; traditionally attributed to Virgil). Three manuscripts read \"pothus\" and the others read \"potus\"; accordingly, more recent editions read Pothus (“Desire”), i.e. personified Ancient Greek πόθος (póthos). If the conjecture is spurious, the term would be a ghost word.\nIf genuine, putus 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. See Proto-Italic *putlos and Latin puer, pūsus, pullus.",
