Definitions

  1. informal terms referring to a domestic cat

Word origin

Probably from Middle Low German pūse, pūskatte or Dutch poes (“puss, cat”, also slang for “vulva”), ultimately from a common Germanic word for cat, perhaps ultimately imitative of a sound made to get its attention (compare Arabic بسة (bissa)).

Used in a sentence

  • '[…] It won't kill Puss any better for that.' / "'But, goodness gracious, what can that hare be made of?' I asked.
