Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Unexplained. After Schwyzer IF 30, 443 ff. prop. "kick away smb. from smth.", first in aor. παῦ-σαι, to which the pres. παύω as innovation. Orig. pres. would be παίω (s.v.) for *παϜι̯ω = Lat. paviō. Semant. very little convincing; cf. Kretschmer Glotta 6, 308, Porzig Satzinhalte 50. Not better Solmsen IF 31,483: to OPr. pausto `wild', OCS pustъ `bare, waste' etc. WP. 2, 1ff., Pok. 790 a. 827, W. -Hofmann s. paviō and pausa, Vasmer s. pustítь and pustóĭ.
