Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English baudrik, bauderik, baudry, from Old French baldré, baldrei, baudré (crossbelt, sword-belt) (modern baudrier); further etymology uncertain, possibly from *balterād, from earlier *baltiraidī (belt gear, belt equipment) (compare baldrei, baudrat), from *balti (belt), from Latin balteus (possibly borrowed from 𐌁𐌀𐌋𐌕𐌄𐌀 (belt)) + *(ga)raidī (equipment).
