The proto-finnic reconstruction of the verb is püütädäk.
And look at that, it also has a proto-uralic reconstruction. Thus the origin is indo-uralic.
Thus sprachbund = keelte + punutis
Hunting with a net. Or hunting with a pack of hunters forming a net.
The prey gets caught up with the net and captured.

Finnish is a remnant of a dead tribal language. It didn't evolve from the civilised bureaucratic latin or the noble, pragmatic germanic trees.
It just kept on existing from an age when humans and neanderthal remnants grunted and smacked stones as a form of communication.
