Etymology

From Proto-Italic *tussis, from Proto-Indo-European *tud-ti-s (“cough”), from *(s)tewd-, from *(s)tew- (“to push, hit”). The unexpected lack of vowel lengthening of the u and the consonant gemination of the s in the Proto-Italic form may be from onomatopoeic influence. Cognate with Old English aþytan (“to expel”), Old Norse aþiota (“to expel”).
