köken: From chłop + -ak. Originally from the Mazovian dialect, as there is a tendency to use the suffix -ak instead of -ę to create young nouns (compare Polish dziecię vs Polish dzieciak, źrebię vs źrebak). First attested in 1731.
köken: Borrowed from Classical Persian بَچَّه (bačča), from Proto-Iranian *wacáh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *watsás, from Proto-Indo-European *wetsós, from *wétos + *-ós. Doublet of बछड़ा (bachṛā, “calf, child, boy”).
köken: Either a loan from Yiddish חבֿר (khaver, “friend, boyfriend”), or a blend of kamraati + toveri. The former of these is now considered more likely. The word is also attested in the sense “companion (in crime)”, so it may have originated in argot.
