ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD BÁLĂ
bálă (bále), s. f. –
1. Vietate, lighioană. –
2. Monstru, fiară. Probabil contracție de la
boală, care se folosește curent în limba populară, ca termen depreciativ, aplicat mai ales vitelor. Primul său sens trebuie să fi fost, ca în
boală, cel de „lighioană primejdioasă” sau „calamitate”. Accepția de „monstru”, care apare exclusiv în dicționare, este numai secundară și artificială, datorită asocierii instinctive cu
balaur. În acest sens se folosește mai ales în literatura scrisă: uzul popular (
cf. în DAR;
o bală de cîine, o bală de copil, du-te’n bală, mînca-te-ar balele; în Candrea;
o bală de ibovnică) se identifică perfect cu cel al lui
boală. După altă ipoteză, este vorba de
lat. bellua (Tiktin; REW 1026; Philippide, II, 633; Pascu,
Arch. Rom., VI, 224),
cf. alb. boljë, „dragon”,
it. belva „fiară”; dar această explicație prezintă dificultăți fonetice. Hasdeu 2374, urmat de DAR, se gîndea la o formație modernă, pe baza lui
bale, și o lega cu credința populară legată de
balele dracului. În sfîrșit, Scriban pleacă de la
lat. pop. billa „animal de tracțiune”.
