Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from ba- +‎ luce (“light”) +‎ -ino +‎ -are.[1] The voicing of -c- is common in Tuscan (compare fagiolo, piagente, brage). The prefix ba(r)- would be a dialectal variant of bis-, here in the sense of “imperfectly” (compare barlume (“glimmer”)).

  • IPA(key): /ba.lu.d͡ʒiˈna.re/
  • Rhymes: -are
  • Hyphenation: ba‧lu‧gi‧nà‧re
