Etymology 2
Perfect passive participle of pellō (“push, expel”). Displaced Proto-Italic *poltos, perfect passive participle of *pelnasi (“to bring close”), which would have yielded *pultus.
Participle
pulsus (feminine pulsa, neuter pulsum); first/second-declension participle
- expelled, kicked out, having been kicked out.
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.362:
- ‘spēs erat in cursū: nunc lare pulsa suō est.’
- “Hope was on course: Now, she has been expelled from her own home.”
(The Gauls had invaded Rome; Mars asks Jupiter to intervene. The poetic voice of Mars may be understood figuratively as well as literally, because the invaders now occupied the Temple of Spes, or Hope.)
- “Hope was on course: Now, she has been expelled from her own home.”
- ‘spēs erat in cursū: nunc lare pulsa suō est.’
- pushed, shoved, having been pushed.
