köken: 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). Doublet of Басти́лия (Bastílija) and бастио́н (bastión). Compare typologically опло́т (oplót),…
attic (space, often unfinished and with sloped walls, directly below the roof)
çekim: çoğul zolders
köken: From Middle Dutch solder, solre, from Old Dutch *solari, *soleri, from Latin sōlārium. Cognate with German Söller. The -d- is a late epenthesis and therefore did not cause the development -old- → -oud- (as in goud etc.). Doublet of solarium.
köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese sotoo, sotão, from Vulgar Latin *subtulum, from Latin subtus. Compare Galician soto (“ground floor; cellar”) and Spanish sótano (“cellar”). Less likely from a Vulgar Latin *subtanus (whence Italian sottano), itself also a derivative of subtus (“below”).
