Italian
Etymology
Borrowed from some Western Romance language (e.g. Old Occitan esbadalhar), from Vulgar Latin *exbataculāre, from Early Medieval Latin bataculāre (“to yawn”).
The foreign origin is indicated by the treatment of Latin -c'l- (the expected Tuscan outcome would have been *sbadacchiare or similar). The native Tuscan term for this is alare.[1][2]
