Etymology[edit]

First recorded in the 1st Pskov manuscript. Often used in the 17th century. Inherited from Old East Slavic башта (bašta) from Italian bastia via Polish baszta or Czech bašta. The ending was influenced by the suffix -ня (-nja), which creates nouns of place, as in па́шня (pášnja), тамо́жня (tamóžnja).
