[edit] Etymology

From a Slavonic 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’”).
