[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Andalusian Arabic الْمَاطَنَة (al-māṭana, “sledgehammer”), of unclear origin, speculated from Ancient Greek πατάνη (patánē, “a flat dish”) reanalyzed as a tool noun which has also been borrowed as بَطَانَة (baṭāna), پَطَانَة (paṭāna, “dishware or other large thing of little value”), because of batán (“fulling mill or the mallet thereof”), compare for the semantical development Russian кия́нка (kijánka, “mallet”) which is actually from Polish kijanka (“particularly a batlet of a fuller”) and what is at Arabic كُذِين (kuḏīn, “fuller’s beetle”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
