"Pune" is a form of the Romanian verb "a pune", inherited directly from Latin "ponere" (to put, to place). Latin "ponere" was itself built from the prefix "po-" (away, aside) attached to the root behind "sinere" (to let, to leave). The verb has been part of Romanian since its earliest texts, and it keeps the same irregular stem changes (pune-, pun-, pus-) found across its Romance relatives.
