Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *ob(ъ)turъ, *ob(ъ)tura, from the verb *ob(ъ)turiti. Compare *turiti (to chase, drive away). Related to отурить, отурять (oturitʹ, oturjatʹ, capsize, confuse, deceive).

According to Anikin, the word's age renders unlikely the Turkic etymology proposed by Vasmer, who derives the term from Turkic bahadyr, comparing Kazakh батыр (batyr, hero). Compare also Hindi बहादुर (bahādur, brave), Mongolian баатар (baatar, hero, warrior), Russian богаты́рь (bogatýrʹ, warrior).
