The etymology traditionally and most commonly given is, through the intermediate , but there are some phonetic problems with this, and it does not explain the older variant forms  or. Another theory was Latin, but this is even less likely than the other two, and there is already another separate Romanian term derived from this word (cf. ). The -l- present in the variant is also of uncertain origin; it may have been influenced by German , Slavic  (compare 🇨🇬), or Turkish.
