Etymology

Borrowed from Old Ruthenian фїа́лка (fiálka) (att. early 17th c.) at the turn of 18th c., itself with a gender change from Middle Polish fiałek, a variant of fiołek, from Old Polish fiołek (att. 1447), from Middle High German vîol, from Latin viola (whence also фиоле́товый (fiolétovyj)).

Compare typologically ро́за (róza) (whence ро́зовый (rózovyj)), ли́лия (lílija) (akin to лило́вый (lilóvyj)). Also note цвет (cvet), цвето́к (cvetók).
