Etymology[edit]
Possibly from *pewH- (“to mow, harvest”) + *-rós (compare Latin putō (“to prune (trees), scour (wool)”), Latvian pļaũt (“to mow, harvest”)), or perhaps *ph₂-u-ró-s, from *peh₂- (“to strike”)[1]. Alternatively borrowed from Proto-Semitic (compare Hebrew בָּר (bar, “wheat”), Arabic بُرّ (burr, “wheat”)), or a Wanderwort[2].
