Etymology

edit

From Ancient Greek βατιάκη, βατιάκιον (batiákē, batiákion), from Middle Persian bʾtk' (bādag, wine, must), from Old Persian *bātah (wine, must); from late Akkadian 𒁀𒂅𒌑 (baṭû, tray, platter; mixing container, bowl for liquids; wine jar, pitcher), from earlier Akkadian 𒁀𒋾𒌝 (baṭium, vessel, basin, place to hold; tray, platter) shifting semantically by the Neo-Babylonian period, but consistently an item listed with sets of vessels. Ultimately derived from Proto-Semitic *bvṭ- (a space or vessel; to be swollen, filled up, slow; to mix, agitate, or gurgle; to be hollow or emptied out, to lose or spread out contents). Cognates with Classical Syriac ܒܳܛܺܝܬܴܐ (bāṭīṯā), Persian باده (wine), Persian بادیه (bâdiye, large bowl), and Arabic بَاطِيَة (bāṭiya).
