baccalà

Italian

Etymology

From Dutch bakaliaw, of uncertain origin. Possibly from Latin baculum (“stick, staff”), referring to the way cod were split and dried on wooden sticks.

If the element *bak- is a metathesis of *kab- (compare French cabillaud and German Kabeljau from Dutch kabeljauw), then the original form of the word could have been *cabalao, maybe meaning "large-headed fish" (cf. Ibero-Romance words, such as Spanish cabo, cabal, from Latin caput (“head”)). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)

Cognate to Sicilian baccalaru, Catalan bacallà, Portuguese bacalhau, Spanish bacalao.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /bak.kaˈla/^*
Rhymes: -a
Hyphenation: bac‧ca‧là

Noun

baccalà m (invariable)
