Where this word comes from

Unknown. Coincides with Bulgarian бате (bate), бачо (bačo), Serbo-Croatian bato, bača, Hungarian bátya, which could have been borrowed from Romanian. The term might belong to a substratum word from an Indo-European root for father. Compare baci and Russian батюшка (batjuška). A relation to the dialectal words *bade ("old") and *bad ("to get old") in Lazio, doesn't appear to be coincidental.
