Etymology
[edit]Gołąbkiis the plural form ofgołąbek,the diminutive form ofgołąb( "pigeon, dove" ).Max Vasmeraccepts this as the origin of the word, stating that the dish was so named due to similarity in shape. The Polish linguistMarek Stachowskifinds this theorysemanticallydubious. He instead proposes an Oriental borrowing, pointing out that a similar dish, aside fromEastern Europe,is known in theLevantandCentral Asia.He mentionsPersianکلمkalam"cabbage" orکلم پیچkalam pič"cabbage roll" andOld Armenianկաղամբkałamb"cabbage" as possible sources. The word would have later been altered byfolk etymologyto resemble the word for the bird.[3]
