Pötsche

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pötsche is an old word for ' rock face ' or ' cave '. It is probably of Slavic origin and can still be found as a toponym .

Word origin and usage

Pötsche [n] is derived from a Slavic word pečina . This still lives today in Serbo-Croatian as pećina for 'cave'. In English, it is through the Alps Slavic (proto Slovenian ) handed down - but with the modern Slovenian for, Cave 'the word jama used Pecina is, rock [s] '.

At least in the 19th century the word ( f. ) Was still alive in East Tyrol in the sense of 'cave under rocks', i.e. 'resting place' ( Tiroler Idiotikon , for the Prägraten area ). The connotation 'resting place, resting place, shelter' is well documented for the Alpine region in relation to caves in rock walls or under exposed stones, also archaeologically.

The root of the word is assumed to be in an ancient Slavonic * pect 'cave under an overhanging rock' to * pek 'heat'. This root would correspond exactly to the range of meanings of the German word furnace , which - be it about possible [south-facing] heating, combustible storage locations or pure similarity to old furnace shapes - presumably also describes the same topographical facts, just like the current Slovenian word peč , the 'furnace' and can also mean 'rock'. In his publication on mountain names, Heinz Dieter Pohl suggests a derivation for both roots from the basic meaning 'rock (cave)' in this semantic context.
