baldas

Etymology
Of unclear origin.

The traditional linkage of the term to the same word family as, , and is semantically far-fetched; however, for a semantic parallel, compare , which describes ornaments and likely traces back to a root denoting "knocking" etymologically.

It is also worth noting that has a second, possibly unrelated, usage meaning "to paint (walls, etc.) white" and "to bleach (cloth, etc.)", which seems related to. It is possible that derives from this usage instead, and the presumed semantic shift would not be quite as drastic.

Noun
