Etymology

It is considered a borrowing from a Turkic (Crimean Tatar, or rather Nogai) language paχn at, in which it is explained (according to Lokotsch[1] and Miklosich,[2] for example) as a compound word formed from Persian پهن (pahn, wide, broad) (cf. Ottoman Turkish پهن (pehn)) + at (“horse”) of Common Turkic origin (cf. Nogai at, Crimean Tatar at).[3] Vasmer considers this highly unlikely.[4]

  • Menges derives it from a Turkic form of the name Mähmäd ("Mohammed")[5] (cf. Old East Slavic Бохмитъ (Boxmitŭ, Магомет/Magomet).[6]

Cognates include Ukrainian бахма́т (baxmát) and Polish bachmat.
