pudele

 pudele on Latvian Wikipedia

• (archaic form) budele
• (dialectal form) butele

Borrowed from Middle Low German buddel, itself borrowed from French bouteille, from Late Latin buticula, the diminutive form of buttis (“barrel”), from Ancient Greek βοῦθις (boûthis, “barrel”). The word is first mentioned as budele in 18th-century dictionaries; the current form (with b > p, perhaps under Livonian influence, but also perhaps a dialectal feature) became popular in the 19th century. Another form butele, found in some dialects, is apparently an independent loan, from Baltic German buttel, from which also Russian буты́лка (butýlka).^[1]
