Appearance
Bulgarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Slavic *bagrъ (“treated with heat, thermic”). Originally an adjective, which later has been substantivized.
The particular hue degree crimson may have been influenced by Oghur *băɣŭr < Proto-Turkic *bakïr (“copper, dirt”) (cf. Chuvash пӑхӑр (păh̬ăr, “copper”)), possibly of Iranian origin.[1]
