раковина

Russian
раковина

Etymology

From Old East Slavic раковина (rakovina, “mother of pearl”). Per Vasmer, from Proto-Slavic *orky (“shell”) (genitive *orkъve) + *-ina, from Proto-Germanic *arkō (“chest, coffer”), from Latin arca (“chest, coffer, coffin”). Cognate with ра́ка (ráka, “shrine of a saint, originally coffin”), from the same Latin source, and with Slovene rákəv (“coffin, crypt”), Czech rakev (“coffin”), rakvice (“shell”), Slovak rakev (“box”), Polabian rakåí (“box”).
