باقلوا

Ottoman Turkish[edit]

Alternative forms[edit]

باقلاوا (baklava), بقلاوا (baklava), بقلوا (baklava), بقلاوه (baklava)
بقلغی (baklağı), بقلغو (baklağu)

Etymology[edit]

First attested in Câmi-ül Fürs (1501) as بقلغی (baklağı), later also in Lügat-i Ni'metu'llâh (1540) as بقلغو (baklağu), with the same meaning.^[1] For the development of the ending compare Turkish oklava from earlier اقلاغی (oklağı).^[2]

Usually considered a word of unknown ultimate origin. ^[3]^[4]^[2]^[5]^[6]^[7]
Another etymology is that it's borrowed from Middle Mongol ᠪᠠᠭᠯᠠᠭ᠎ᠠ (baɣlag-a, “bundle, package”), originally from ᠪᠠᠭ (bag, “covering”) +‎ ᠯᠤᠭ᠎ᠠ (-lug-a), literally “with covering”; itself a borrowing^[8] from Old Turkic 𐰉𐰍𐰞𐰀 (baɣla-, “to tie”), with a -v suffix, whence also Ottoman Turkish باغلامق (bağlamak, “to tie”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
