putsch \pooch\ noun 1. a plotted revolt or attempt to overthrow a government, especially one that depends upon suddenness and speed. Quotes Pavel Uritzky had been one of the ring-leaders of the putsch and deeply depressed at its failure. -- Robert Littell, The Company, 2002 Origin Putsch entered English in the early 1900s from the German word of the same spelling. In the original Swiss German, the word literally meant "violent blow," but took on the sense of "coup" in the 1830s.
