Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Old Catalan palissa (fence, palisade) (especially in the context of jousting), either borrowed from Spanish paliza[1] or an indigenous formation,[2] in either case etymologically Latin pālus (stake) and perhaps -icea. The change from /l/ to /ʎ/ is likely by analogy with lliça or vall.
