Word: волокно́,
Near etymology: укр. волокно́, болг. влакно́, сербохорв. вла́кно, словен. vlákno, чеш., слвц. vlákno, польск. wɫókno, в.-луж. wɫokno, н.-луж. ɫokno; см. Торбьёрнссон 1, 104.
Further etymology: Считается родственным др.-инд. valkám, válkas "лыко", др.-англ. wlóh "волокно, клочок"; см. Бецценбергер, ВВ 12, 241; Цупица, GG 143; Лиден, Arm. Stud. 100; Брандт, РФВ 25, 217. Сюда же относят греч. λάχνος, λάχνη "шерсть, волос" из *vl̥ksnā (см. Сольмсен, Unters. gr. Lautl. 125 и сл.; однако ср. Буазак 562). Далее связывается с во́лос (Лиден, там же). Вместе с тем нежелательно отказываться от сближения с волоку́. Во всяком случае, не заимств. из герм.; ср. д.-в.-н. walchan "бить, валять" (вопреки Хирту, РВВ 23, 337; против см. Кипарский 55).
