köken: Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish پرتل (partal, “worn-out cloth”), a -lı derivative of Classical Persian پارچه (pārča, “piece, part”). Displaced Bulgarian пъртищ (pǎrtišt), which is cognate with the Persian lemma.
According to Çabej, a derivative of harr (“to weed”). Alternatively a back formation of arnoj (“to patch”), borrowed from Latin renovāre (“to renew, restore, revive”).
