Altaic etymology :

Meaning: to take off, scrape off

Russian meaning: снимать, соскабливать

Mongolian: *hisuge

Tungus-Manchu: *pusi-

Korean: *pàs-

Japanese: *pásám-

Comments: In Kor. cf. also also pskǝ́-tì- 'to perish, disappear', pskắ- 'to strip off skin, peel', modern pasjǝ-ǯida 'crumble, go to pieces'; see SKE 192, 199, EAS 101-102; Цинциус 1984, 56. The isolated Daghur form could be a borrowing from Tungus (derivatives from this root can also mean 'scissors', 'razor', 'tweezers' - cf. Evk. husiwun, Evn. hụhoŋko, Orok pụsị̄qqụ etc.) - but the immediate source is unclear. On a possible Turkic reflex see under *isV.
