Bulgarian

Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *bagrъ (treated with heat, thermic). Originally an adjective, which later was fossilized into a noun. The female form багра (bagra) has also evolved into a noun, however, referring to a whole spectrum of shades of some hue, rather than to a particular degree.

The particular meaning "crimson" may have been influenced by Oghur *băɣŭr < Proto-Turkic *bakïr (copper, dirt) (cf. Chuvash пăхăр (păhăr, copper)), possibly of Iranian origin[1].
