Etymology of PRUT

The word "prut" has two distinct etymologies depending on its context.

1. As a currency: The term "prut" originated from the name of the river Prut, which flows through Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania. During the 17th and early 18th centuries, various regions along the Prut River issued their own silver coins called "prutah" or "prut" denoting their local currency. Over time, "prut" came to represent a small unit of currency in these regions.

2. As a verb: In Yiddish, the word "prut" means to exempt or remove. This usage of "prut" likely has its roots in Hebrew, where "prutah" means the smallest denomination of coin and can also be interpreted as "something small" or "something insignificant".
