Etymology 1Modificar

From Middle English bal, ball, balle from Old English *beall(u), *bealla "ball, round object" or Old Norse bøllr "ball", both from Proto-Germanic *balluz, *ballēn (“‘ball’”) from Proto-Indo-European *bholn- (“‘bubble’”) from PIE base *bhel- (“‘to blow, inflate, swell’”). Akin to Old Saxon ball "ball" (Dutch bal "ball"), Old High German bal, ballo "ball" (German Ball "ball"; Ballen "bale"). Related forms in Romance were borrowed from Patrono:Gem[[Category:Patrono:Gem derivations|Ball]]. See also balloon, bale.
