Putin definition

Putin literally means "of road" or "related to road." It is a derivative of "put' " (путь), which means "road"/"way." At the same time, it's not an inflected form of this same noun. In the Russian language, the word "Putin" only exists as a surname, it's not used in any other context and thus it does not really mean anything. To express the meaning of "related to road," we would just use an inflected form of the noun "road"/ путь ( puti/путИ) which is different from "Putin."
