köken: Borrowed from Old Occitan cazerna, from Latin quaterna (neuter plural of Latin quaternus). Doublet of cahier, inherited from Latin, and quaterne, a later borrowing.
köken: From στρατός (stratós, “army”), following the ending -ώνας (-ónas) of location nouns such as κρυψώνας (krypsónas, “cache, hiding place”) or αμπελώνας (ampelónas, “vineyard”) as a model. First attested 1833.
köken: Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑁄𑀝𑁆𑀝 (koṭṭa), from Sanskrit कोट्ट (koṭṭa), कोट (koṭa); ultimately from Proto-Dravidian *kōṭṭay (“wall”). Compare Tamil கோட்டை (kōṭṭai, “fort, castle, stronghold”).
köken: From Dutch barak, from French baraque, from Spanish barraca, from Catalan barraca, diminutive of barra (“clay, mud”), from Vulgar Latin *barrum, probably ultimately from Celtiberian.
