Is it really a Polish word? It was used by my father's family, and I was wondering what is its etymology.

It's "Won!", without "t" at the end.

Now it is - it's a loandword from Russian language - rusycyzm (Russianism, Russism, or Russicism).
You can also say "Paszoł won!" Without those loanwords it would be "Precz!" and "Poszedł precz!"

I found it!
It's "won" not "wont".

Edit - thanks, Paulina, I was so busy looking, I didn't see your reply. Russian source, that's helpful, too.

Yes, my father's family got the hell out of Wołyń between WWI and WWII. They moved to outskirts of Warsaw.
