[edit]
Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Middle Russian пуля (pulja, “bullet, arquebus projectile”), att. since 1620s. As suggested by Chernykh and proven by Zoltan, a back-formation from пулька (pulʹka, “bullet; projectile in general”) (att. 1580s), itself a dissimilated borrowing from Old Ruthenian кулька (kulʹka) (att. 1550s), from Middle Polish kulka, from Old Polish kulka (att. 1497), from kula (att. 1461), from Middle High German kūle, a rare variant of kugele, itself of uncertain origin.
