boș¹

  • [boʃ]

Where it comes from

Uncertain. Perhaps from the variant boașă, possibly from Medieval Latin, Late Latin bursa (“purse”), although this is unlikely. Perhaps from Turkish boş, although this is also doubtful due to the age of the word. Compare Aromanian boashã, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian boş.
