Baltic

baltic Bàltic English Alternative forms very cold en baltic Etymology en :bor la:Balticus<ety:der<la:Balthae>> From en la Balticus, from en la Balthae dwellers near the Baltic sea; equivalent to en Balt ic. The ultimate origin of the ethnonym is unknown, but possibilities include:bælt Related to lt baltas white and sla-pro *bolto swamp, bog, mud, which are likely from en ine-pro *bʰel- shiny *bʰel(H)- white via en ine-bsl-pro *bálˀtas white. This supposes a semantic shift in en bat from white to something like marsh or sea, paralleling that in the en sla cognate. (However, the only such parallels attested from Baltic occur in lt balà swamp, mire, morass; puddle and lv bala loamy valley without trees, swamp, depression, which are not only semantically more distant but crucially lack the *-t- suffix.) On the other hand, similar words for swamp, marsh throughout Europe have been considered en qfa-sub words; more at sla-pro *bolto and sq baltë.en bat-pro From a hypothetical derivative of en gem-pro *baltijaz (itself borrowed from la balteus belt), originally referring to the Danish straits, "the Belts". This is suggested by Adam of Bremen, who in the 11th century first recorded the name (Balticus, eo quod in modum baltei longo tractu per Scithicas regiones tendatur usque in Greciam). All of these options involve a great deal of speculation, however. More on Wikipedia.
