Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/topolь

Etymology
Likely akin to 🇨🇬, but beyond that sla-pro. Possibly related in some manner to 🇨🇬 (whence 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). A direct borrowing from Vulgar Latin is usually dismissed, because Eastern Romance languages reflect instead an alternative form → 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Per Walde-Hoffmann, perhaps further akin to 🇨🇬, ultimately from reduplication and subsequent dissimilation *p - p- → *t - p- of 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1)  poplar genus of trees in family Salicaceae

Usage notes
The word may refer to both (when necessary, specified as ) and Populus alba. Some daughter languages additionally bear a separate term specifically for.
