Where this word comes from
pistää (“to stick, thrust, poke”) + -ua. The sense “to (be able to) cut into, (be able to) sink into” is the original one. The change /i/ to /y/ is due to the influence of the suffixal /y/ and the initial /p/, both labial sounds (the same shift has also occurred in pysyä and pysty).
