batoh

== Czech == === Alternative forms === baťoh (dialectal) === Etymology === Borrowed from Slovak batoh with the same meaning. In Old Czech, batoh had a different meaning (“whip, stick”), inherited from Proto-Slavic *batogъ. It is unclear whether the word changed meaning (possibly via “a stick to carry baggage”, and “baggage carried using a stick”) or the modern usage is a new derivation (Machek’s theory of derivation from German Weidtasche (“hunter’s bag”) is considered implausible by Rejzek). First attested in the 19th century. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbatox] === Noun === batoh m inan backpack, rucksack, knapsack ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “batoh”, in Příruční slovník jazyka českého (in Czech), 1935–1957 “batoh”, in Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (in Czech), 1960–1971, 1989 “batoh”, in Internetová jazyková příručka (in Czech), 2008–2026 “batoh”, in Akademický slovník současné češtiny, 2012–2026, slovnikcestiny.cz
