Proto-Slavic
Etymology
If the original meaning was "rib", the word is cognate with Latin baculum, Ancient Greek βακτηρία (baktēría), Proto-Celtic *bakkos (“hook”), presumably from Proto-Indo-European *bak-.[1]
Kroonen, as usual, considers a Germanic borrowing: from Proto-West Germanic *bakō (“back”).[2] Vasmer dismisses this possibility for phonetic and semantic reasons.
