harmider

Polish

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly borrowed from Ottoman Turkish حرامی + دره (“ravine of the highwayman”), a site of frequent ambushes for Polish envoys heading to Constantinople. Sławski proposes a derivation from Persian [script needed] (γarmīdan, “to quarrel”), rejected by most scholars.
