Russian

Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic граница (granica) attested in Southern Rus' since 1375 and speculated to be an Old Polish loan, even though there's no scholarly consensus, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *granica. The more common Muscovite term was Middle Russian рубежъ (rubež), but it was to some extent displaced, perhaps under Polish and Ruthenian influence. By surface analysis, грань (granʹ) +‎ -и́ца (-íca).
