glonț¹
- /ɡlont͡s/
Where it comes from
Uncertain. Possibilities include:
* Scriban argues that the term is related to grăunte or grunț, both meaning “grain; kernel”.
* Per Skok, the term is from borrowed from Serbo-Croatian glonta (“bullet”), which he derives from German Flinte (“little rifle”).
* Per Cihac, the term is borrowed from Hungarian golyócs (“pellet”) or galacs (“clump”).
* Ciorănescu disagrees with the above theories and instead proposes an expressive nature based on its derivatives, suggesting the Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian words are borrowings from Romanian. Compare glonțiș (“cannonball”), glonțan (“gravel”), grunțuros (“rocky”).
