Nguồn gốc từ

From French avalanche, from - (Savoy) avalançhe, blend of aval (downhill) and standard lavençhe, from *labanka (compare lavanca, valanga), of uncertain origin, perhaps an alteration of lābīna (landslide) (compare Franco-Provençal (Dauphiné) lavino, lavina), from Latin lābēs, from lābor (to slip, slide).
