Etymology

InheritedfromLatinfūstis(“stick, club”).Noting the unexpected /f-/, Coromines & Pascual dismiss the possibility of a borrowing from neighbouring Romance varieties (cf.Galicianfuste) and point out that the word was common in medieval times but restricted to more technical registers afterwards, which may have allowed the traditional orthography with ⟨f⟩ to determine the pronunciation.
