bubonic plague, the plague · any of various unrelated epidemic diseases affecting animals · anything that negatively affects vast areas, especially a natural disaster
eş: Pestilenz, Schwarzer Tod, Pestepidemie
köken: 16th century, from Latin pestis, in part through Middle French peste. Popular shortening of Middle High German pestilencie (14th c.), from related Latin pestilentia, may also have contributed (though this is impossible to prove).
Inherited from Old East Slavic падежь (padežĭ), from Proto-Slavic *padežь. By surface analysis, пасть (pastʹ) + -ёж (-jóž). Doublet of паде́ж (padéž), a borrowing from Old Church Slavonic.
