Etymology
Uncertain due to apparent cognates in both Indo-Aryan and Romance. Earliest attestation in 1498.[1]
Possibly from Late Sanskrit वरण्ड (varaṇḍa, “heap of grass”), वरण्डक (varaṇḍaka, “wall”), Prakrit 𑀯𑀭𑀁𑀟 (varaṃḍa, “wall”),[2] from which Turner derives Bengali বারান্দা (baranda), Hindustani बरंडा (baraṇḍā) / بَرَنْڈا (baranḍā, “veranda”), Marathi वरंड (varaṇḍa, “parapet”), Odia ଅରଣ୍ଡା (araṇḍā), Persian برآمده (barâmade).[3]
Gonçalves Viana connects it to Latin vāra (“forked pole, tripod, trestle”) as in vara do castelo (“high part of a castle”).[4] Similar words can also be found in Catalan barana (“railing”), Occitan and Spanish baranda.[5]
Soares suggests that Portuguese influence in the 16th century brought about a semantic shift in Indo-Aryan, resulting in the architectural sense "gallery" in Hindi, Marathi, and other Indian languages.[4]
