Etymology [edit]

From a Slavic language, probably Russian область (óblast’, region, province), borrowed from Old Church Slavonic область (oblast’), from Proto-Slavic *obolstь, from earlier Proto-Slavic *obvolstь, *obvoldtь, a compound of *o(b)- (over) + *volstь (rule, power, authority), thus originally probably meaning "a region ruled over". Compare Proto-Slavic *obvoldati (to rule).
