Etymology

From a {{der, en, sla}} language, probably {{der, en, ru, о́бласть, t=region, province}}, borrowed from {{der, en, cu, область}}, from {{der, en, sla-pro, obolstь}}, from earlier *obvolstь, *obvoldtь, a compound of *o(b)-, t=over + *volstь, t=rule, power, authority, thus originally probably meaning "a region ruled over". Compare {{cog, sla-pro, *obvoldati, t=to rule}}.
