sibul
Estonian edit
Etymology edit
From Middle Low German sipolla, zipolle, ultimately from Late Latin cēpulla. The ethnic slur originates from the domes of Orthodox churches, which look like onions. Another theory posits that this meaning comes from the Russian Old Believers (sibulavenelane), who were traditionally famous for growing onions.
