Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from German Polen (“Poland”), from Middle High German Polen or Polēnen. The German name belongs to the same word family as Pole (“Pole”), ultimately from Old Polish Polanie (“Poles; field dwellers”), from Proto-Slavic *poľane (“Poles; field dwellers”), the plural of *poľaninъ (“field dweller”), itself derived from *poľe (“field”). The latter has tentatively been connected with Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂- (“flat, wide”).

Compare Polish Polska, Czech Polsko, Slovak Poľsko, Norwegian Nynorsk Polen, Danish Polen, Swedish Polen, Dutch Polen and Luxembourgish Polen (“Poland”).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /¹ˈpuː.lən/, [ˈpùː.ln̩]
  • Rhymes: -uːlən
  • Hyphenation: Po‧len
