balaur

See also: Balaur

Romanian

Alternative forms
  • bălaur

Etymology

Uncertain. Akin to Albanian boljë, bollë, bullar. The Albanian may more likely be derived from a Latin term, alternatively, and the Romanian may be taken from it. May also have a relation to Serbo-Croatian blavor, but it is uncertain which language borrowed from which. Another theory suggests Latin belluarius, ultimately from bēlua; however the normal result in Romanian would have been *bălar. Influence from laur may have affected it, but it is uncertain why this analogy would be made.
