Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Slovak batoh with the same meaning.[1][2] In Old Czech, batoh had a different meaning (“whip, stick”), inherited from Proto-Slavic *batogъ.[2] It is unclear whether the word changed meaning (possibly via “a stick to carry baggage”, and “baggage carried using a stick”) or the modern usage is a new derivation (Machek’s theory of derivation from German Weidtasche (hunter’s bag)[1] is considered implausible by Rejzek).[2]
