Talk:перрон

Do you think this word was borrowed from instead? The French apparently doesn't have the meaning "railway platform"; if that is the oldest meaning in Russian, a German origin may be more probable. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:55, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

 * It's from French, according to Shansky (reference added). It must have changed the original meaning:
 * " перрон Заимств. в XIX в. из франц., яз., где perron — суф. производное от pierre < лат. petra «скала, камень», передающего греч. petros — тж. (ср. петрография). Буквально — «платформа, замощенная камнем»."--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:34, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
