[Middle English putten, back-formation from Old English *pūtte, past tense of pȳtan, to put out.]
late O.E. putung "instigation, urging," lit. "putting;" also pytan "put out, thrust out" (of eyes), probably from Gmc. stem that also produced Dan. putte "to put," Swed. dial. putta.

put5[put]verb
to sail in a particular direction Example: We put out to sea; The ship put into harbour for repairs.
1. An option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a specified time.
2. The act of exercising a put option.
Investopedia Commentary
A put becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying stock depreciates.
An option that conveys to its holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specific asset at a predetermined price until a certain date. In most cases, puts have 100shares of stock as the underlying asset. For example, an investor may purchase a put option on GenCorp common stock that confers the right to sell 100 shares at $15 per share until September 21. Putsare sold for a fee by other investors who incur an obligation to purchase the asset if the option holder decides to sell. Investors purchase puts in order to take advantage of a decline in the price ofthe asset. Compare call 1. Also called put option. See also guarantee letter, synthetic put, transferable put right.
Sale of an issue of bonds before maturity by forcing the issuer to buy at par.Few bond issues permit the holder this option.
Putting things into perspective: How to hedge, using puts. How to speculate, using puts.
A putoption has an inverse relationship to the underlying security. As the value of the stock increases, the value of the put decreases. Like calls, puts can be used for both hedging and speculation. Putscan be purchased in conjunction with stock ownership as a form of insurance (that is, a hedge) against downside loss on a stock. If the stock price declines, the put holder can either sell the put andkeep the stock, or exercise the put and sell the stock at the put's strike price. In either case, the increased value of the option will offset the stock loss to some degree. If the stock price risesbeyond a certain level, the put will expire worthless. In this case, the put holder will lose the premium paid for the option but will still participate in the upward stock movement. The break-evenpoint occurs when the stock price advances beyond the put's strike price plus the premium. Puts also can be used speculatively without a position in the underlying security. Instead of selling a stockshort, an investor who anticipates a decline in the price of a stock can buy an at-the-money put. If the stock price rises, causing the put to expire worthless, the maximum loss is the premium paid forthe put. But if the stock price declines substantially, the investor could make profits that far exceed the initial cost of the put.
Henry Nothnagel, Senior VicePresidentOptions, Wachovia Securities, Inc., Chicago, IL
To force the seller of a put option to purchase shares of stock at the stipulated price. Puts are exercised by the owner only when the market price of the underlying stock isless than the strike price. Also called put to seller.
