Origin
According to linguistic researchers, the word comes from the common Slavic form. In Old Slavonic it was written as a “dish”, and at the same time the noun had a masculine gender - “dish”. From him formed:
- Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian - “dish”;
- Serbo-Croatian - “prostitute” and feminine - “prostitute”;
- Polish - bluda, also feminine;
- Church Slavonic in the plural - “dishes”, in the genitive case - “dishes”;
- Upper Luga and Lower Luga - blido, meaning "table".
In ancient times, the word Old Slavonic was borrowed from the Gothic, where it looked like biuþs and meant "dish, bowl." Similar words are:
- in Old High German - biutta - in the meaning of “sauerkraut, beehive”;
- in the New High German - Beute, where it means prey and was formed from the Gothic verb biudan - “to offer”;
- in Swedish - bjuda - "to offer."
From the same source the Finnish pöytä - “table” was borrowed.
It should be noted that this is one of the most ancient words not only in Russian, but also in a number of Indo-European languages. It remains unchanged both in pronunciation and spelling in them from the 9th century. In Old Slavonic there were two spellings and meanings.
- The first of these, the “dish,” is the “receptacle” of food, from which the noun “mesca,” and then the “bowl,” came.
- The second - "dishes" as dishes, dishes.
Since the XIII century it has become one word, which distinguishes both the plural and the singular.
