Etymology edit

First attested in 1407. Borrowed from Old Czech bavlna and Old Polish bawełna, later reinforced by Czech bavlna and Polish bawełna. Further from Middle High German boumwolle (compare Old Polish boumwol), whence modern German Baumwolle, dialectal bawele, bauwele.[1][2] Alternatively, proposed borrowing from Italian bavella (raw silk), from Medieval Latin malvella.[3][4]

The -vl-, -weł- changed to -вол- (-vol-), -вов- (-vov-) under the influence of во́лна (vólna), во́вна (vóvna, wool). Accent on the first syllable ба́- (bá-) due to Czech influence. Doublet of баве́лна (bavélna).

Noun edit
