Etymology

[edit]

It is generally agreed to be from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to gleam”), but there is disagreement whether the word is one of the earliest (Proto-)Romanian loans from Proto-Slavic *bolto, or whether it is a pre-Roman substrate word. Compare Daco-Romanian baltă. There is also an Albanian cognate, baltë. Compare also Serbo-Croatian blȁto, Russian боло́то (bolóto).

Noun

[edit]

baltã f

  1. puddle, pool, pond
