пушка • (puška) f
Inflection
Russian
Etymology 1
Common Slavic. From Old East Slavic пушка (puška) / пушька (pušĭka), further etymology is disputed:
- Vasmer: borrowed from Old High German buhsa via Czech puška, Polish puszka, from Vulgar Latin buxis, from Ancient Greek πυξίς (puxís). Initial п- is of Bavarian origin.
- Černyh: possibly from *пущька (*puščĭka), from пущати (puščati, “to throw projectiles; to fire”). On the basis of West Slavic (and partly South Slavic) this word hybridized with Old High German buhsa. Compare Lower Sorbian buška.

Usage notes
In modern military usage, пушка refers to an artillery piece with a relatively long barrel, operating with a relatively low angle of fire or as a direct fire weapon, e.g. a field gun, an anti-aircraft gun, or an autocannon.
Historically, the word пушка had been used to refer to any large artillery piece, similarly to the historical usage of the English word cannon.
