püsimisele
Püsimisele is an Estonian linguistic form that functions as a noun derived from the verb *püsi*, which means “to peel” or “to remove the outer layer.” The suffix *‑m‑* is added to the root, and the nominalizing suffix *‑ele* places the word in the dative case, making it often translate as “to the peeling” or “towards the act of peeling.” It is typically used in contexts where one describes the action of peeling fruit, vegetables, or other items with an outer covering. For example, a sentence might read, “Ta läks külla ja võttis õuna püsimisele,” meaning “He went to the shop and took an apple to peel.”
The word is relatively rare compared to other Estonian nouns for the same action, such as *pealtpurustamine*
Etymologically, *püsi* is an old root found in many Indo‑European languages for the action of deastringening
