Etymology
The word baklava entered English from Turkish; It is
sometimes connected with the Arabic word for "bean", but Wehr's
dictionary lists them as unrelated; the Arabic name is doubtless a
borrowing from Turkish. Buell (1999) argues that the word "baklava"
may come from the Mongolian root baγla- 'to tie, wrap up, pile up'
composed with the Turkic verbal ending -v; baγla- itself in
Mongolian is a Turkic loanword. The name baklava is used in many
languages with minor phonetic variations.
