Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Likely borrowed from Proto-West Germanic *budinu (“tub, barrel”), itself from Latin butina, which in turn is from Ancient Greek πῡτῑ́νη (pūtī́nē). Per Trubachev, of native origin from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewdʰ- (“to bulge”) (possibly Proto-Indo-European *bewd- (“to swell”), akin to Proto-Germanic *puttaz (“pot”)) is also plausible.
Noun
*bъdьňa f
Alternative forms
