[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain.
It was linked by Çabej with Bushat and reconducted to an indoeuropean root. There also have been roposal of a borrowing from Byzantine Greek φοσσᾶτον (phossâton), φουσσᾶτον (phoussâton, “encampment”), from Late Latin fossātum (“entrenchment, place enclosed by a ditch”).[1][2] According to Barić, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi-sed- (“sitting around”), and according to Balota in RHSEU, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi-sek-ti- (“tilled around”).[2]
