кѫпало
Old East Slavic
Alternative forms
- купало (kupalo) (Late East Slavic)
Etymology
By surface analysis, кѫпати (kǫpati, “to bathe”) + -ло (-lo). Belarusian купа́ўло (kupáŭlo, “bathing place”) suggests it's inherited from Proto-Slavic *kǫpadlo, but the original meaning is unattested.
Sense 2 is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek βαπτιστής (baptistḗs, “baptist”) from βαπτίζω (baptízō, “to wash, clean with water; to baptize”).
