puttとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源 1

Borrowed from Scots putt (“to put”).^[1] Compare Middle Dutch putten (“to dig a hit”). The 古期英語 putian (“to push; thrust; put; place”) derivation is commonly assumed, although no longer valid. In Dutch, the word is instanced in a description of golf in an early seventeenth-century edition of Pieter van Afferden's Tyrocinium linguae latinae.^[2] All derive from Proto-Germanic *putōną.
