köken: From Middle Low German wallache, borrowed in Prussia/Baltics from older Russian волох (volox), from Proto-Slavic *volxъ, from Proto-Germanic *walhaz. Compare Polish wałach, which is also a borrowing from East Slavic. The Slavic word means “Romance speaker”, especially one of Romania, i.e. a Wallachian or Vlach. Wallachian herdsmen are credited with having invented a new form of castration.
köken: From Middle Dutch rûun. Cognate with Middle Low German rûne, Middle High German rūn. Further origin unknown; possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(H)rewH- (“to dig out, rip off”).
a castrated animal · capon (a cockerel which has been gelded and fattened for the table)
çekim: çoğul capões
köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese capon, from a Vulgar Latin root *cappō, *cappōnem, from Latin cāpō, probably from Proto-Indo-European *kop- (“to strike, to beat”). Compare Catalan capó, English capon, French chapon, Italian cappone, Spanish capón.
köken: Used since 1582 < German Wallach (“gelding”) < Walachei (“Wallachia”); probably because the practice of castrating horses spread to Europe from the East
köken: Borrowed from German Wallach, from Middle Low German wallache, from Russian воло́х (volóx), from Proto-Slavic *vòlxъ, from Proto-Germanic *walhaz. Doublet of Walia, Wałach, Włoch, Włochy, and Wołoch.
köken: Found in Late Latin; from a source akin to Khotanese [script needed] (kabä, “horse”), Persian کول (kaval, “slow, clumsy horse”) (from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kaba, *kabala (“horse”)) and Old Church Slavonic кобꙑла (kobyla, “mare”), which could ultimately be of Proto-Indo-European origin.
