Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de turc ottoman: پیانقو

Emprunté à italien: bianco

In summary

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish پیانقو (piyanḳo, “lottery, raffle”), from Italian bianco (“white”), by extension from games of chance in which whoever draws the white object such as a piece of paper is declared winner.
