tussis

== English == === Etymology === From Latin tussis (“cough”). === Noun === tussis (uncountable) A cough. ==== Translations ==== === See also === tussic, tussive, tussal, tussicular tussiculation === Anagrams === suists == Catalan == === Verb === tussis second-person singular present subjunctive of tossir == Latin == === Etymology 1 === From Proto-Italic *tussis, from Proto-Indo-European *tud-ti-s (“cough”), from *(s)tewd-, from *(s)tew- (“to push, hit”). The unexpected lack of vowel lengthening of the u and the consonant gemination of the s in the Proto-Italic form may be from onomatopoeic influence.
