Where this word comes from
Attested since 1614 (as pallasch), in a description on Russia, thus corresponding to Russian палаш (palaš), to Polish pałasz, from Hungarian pallos (“backsword”), from Turkish pala (“cavalry cutlass”). Historial spellings shows that the latter vowel tended to be longer: /palɑːɕ/, or shorter: /palaɕ/, sometimes with an africate ending: /palat͡ɕ/.
