From Ancient Greek βατιάκη, βατιάκιον (batiákē, batiákion), from Middle Persian bʾtk' (bādag, “wine, must”), from Old Persian *bātah (“wine, must”); from late Akkadian 𒁀𒂅𒌑 (baṭû, “tray, platter; mixing container, bowl for liquids; wine jar, pitcher”), from earlier Akkadian 𒁀𒋾𒌝 (baṭium, “vessel, basin, place to hold; tray, platter”) shifting semantically by the Neo-Babylonian period, but consistently an item listed with sets of vessels. Ultimately derived from Proto-Semitic *bvṭ- (“a space or vessel; to be swollen, filled up, slow; to mix, agitate, or gurgle; to be hollow or emptied out, to lose or spread out contents”). Cognates with Classical Syriac ܒܳܛܺܝܬܴܐ (bāṭīṯā), Persian باده (“wine”), Persian بادیه (bâdiye, “large bowl”), and Arabic بَاطِيَة (bāṭiya).
