köken: From Middle High German trappe, possibly a borrowing from Slavic, from Proto-Slavic *dropъty, whose first part is probably from Proto-Indo-European *dreh₂- (“run”) and the other from Proto-Slavic *pъta (“bird”), which is probably based on Proto-Indo-European *put- (“a young, a child, a little animal”). See also Russian дрофа (drofa), Czech drop, Polish drop, Romanian dropie.
köken: Inherited from Old Spanish abtarda, autarda, from Latin avis tarda (“bustard”, literally “slow bird”). This phrase is noted by Roman authors such as Pliny the Elder and Isidore of Seville as being the Hispanic designation for the bird. The modern spelling, avutarda, is the result of influence from ave (“bird”).
köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *dropъty, which is a compound, whose first part is probably from Proto-Indo-European *dreh₂- (“run”) and the other from Proto-Slavic *pъta (“bird”), which is probably based on Proto-Indo-European *put- (“a young, a child, a little animal”).
köken: Borrowed from Bulgarian дропла (dropla), from Proto-Slavic *dropъty, whose first part is probably from Proto-Indo-European *dreh₂- (“run”) and the other from Proto-Slavic *pъta (“bird”), which is probably based on Proto-Indo-European *put- (“a young, a child, a little animal”). Compare Czech drop, Polish drop and Russian дрофа (drofa). Cognate with German Trappe.

köken: Borrowed from a Chuvash-type Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries). Cognates include Kyrgyz тоодак (toodak).
Borrowed from Arabic حُبَارَى (ḥubārā), the original Arabic name for Chlamydotis macqueenii, also applied for the temperate climate Otis tarda and other fowls of the family when the Arabs faced North. Reinterpreted in Persian as آهو (âhu, “gazelle”) + بره (barre, “lamb”) because it runs as fast as the former and is as plump and palatable as a lamb, with similar pairs found in Turkic.
