Etymology
From Medieval Latin balla, palla, bala, from Frankish *ballu, from Proto-Germanic *balluz, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰoln- (“bubble”), from *bʰel- (“to blow, swell, inflate”). Alternatively, via Lombardic *palla, from Proto-Germanic *ballô, from the same ultimate origin. Compare Sicilian baḍḍa.
