In summary

From Middle Low German wallache, borrowed in Prussia/Baltics from older Russian волох (volox), from Proto-Slavic *volxъ, from Proto-Germanic *walhaz. Compare Polish wałach, which is also a borrowing from East Slavic. The Slavic word means “Romance speaker”, especially one of Romania, i.e. a Wallachian or Vlach. Wallachian herdsmen are credited with having invented a new form of castration.
